Iwona, my grandmother, passed away on 20 September after a short illness. She was 22 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 $1,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 September. 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 Iwona to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340 • Transport of the deceased: $220 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jerzy
