Paloma, my mother, passed away on 21 March after complications from pneumonia. She was 43 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 $6,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 April. 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 Paloma 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 $6,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800 • Transport of the deceased: $300 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 Glad we found this place.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

        Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ubud
