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.

We're at 32% thanks to 33 of you. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.

Thinking of you, Michael. This could happen to any of us!
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.
