Lily, my grandmother, passed away on 28 October after a sudden heart attack. She was 50 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 $6,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 November. 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 Lily 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 $6,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $880 • Transport of the deceased: $490 • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Isaac. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

      • Sending love, Isaac. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
