Nevaeh, my grandmother, passed away on 14 January after a stroke. She was 26 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 $4,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 January. 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 Nevaeh 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 the Rockford hospice. Where the $4,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950 • Memorial gathering for the family: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Elias
