Sharon, my mother, passed away on 21 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 86 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 $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. 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 Sharon 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 local food bank. Where the $3,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $580 • Transport of the deceased: $230 • Memorial gathering for the family: $190 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Michael

  1. We're at 32% thanks to 33 of you. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. More news soon.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.

      Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Jose!

        Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Zagazig so I could bring a meal. Love from Nice.
