Saying goodbye to Trisha - help with funeral expenses
Gerald lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $400.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines596 views
Trisha, my sister, passed away on 18 February after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 93 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Trisha 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $400 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Gerald. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Berlin.
