Saying goodbye to Nicole - help with funeral expenses
Nicole passed away on 8 September; we're raising $950 for a respectful funeral in Mandaue.

Nicole, my mother, passed away on 8 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 77 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 Nicole 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 $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $570
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Carmela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Kazan.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 11 people at work.
Take care, Carmela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from León.
Thinking of you and your family, Carmela. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mandaue
