Patience, my sister, passed away on 15 November after a stroke. 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 Patience 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $380
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Fiifi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($240 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 18% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. More news soon.

Hang in there, Fiifi. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Chandler.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fiifi.
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Miami.
Stay strong, Fiifi. Hope you get there. Love from Negombo.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
