Jocelyn, my sister, passed away on 16 February after a stroke. She was 58 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 March.
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 Jocelyn 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 local food bank.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Transport of the deceased: $290
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
With deep gratitude,
Vivian

You're not alone, Vivian. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
Keep going, Vivian. Hope you get there. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Hyderabad
This could happen to any of us. Love from Port Harcourt.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jakarta
Thinking of you, Vivian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Jose.
Stay strong, Vivian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in İzmir donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
