Siti, my mother, passed away on 15 March after a stroke. She was 26 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 25 March. 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 Siti 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 $700 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $430 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $135 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $90 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
