Tammy, my mother, passed away on 22 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 62 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 $2,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Tammy 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 Ann Arbor hospice. Where the $2,150 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600 • Transport of the deceased: $280 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
