Sofia, my wife, passed away on 17 March after complications from pneumonia. She was 55 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 $2,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Sofia 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 $2,650 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $660 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 Thank you so much.
