Irina, my sister, passed away on 7 June after a sudden heart attack. She was 73 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 June. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Irina to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program. Where the $3,200 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $125 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,650 • Transport of the deceased: $425 Thanks for being kind about this.
