Saying goodbye to Solène - help with funeral expenses
Solène passed away on 21 September; we're raising $4,100 for a respectful funeral in Rennes.
🇫🇷 Rennes, Brittany, France3,408 views
Solène, my mother, passed away on 21 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 36 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 $4,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Solène 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 the Rennes hospice.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100
• Transport of the deceased: $250
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $2,750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
