Valentina, my grandmother, passed away on 25 August after a short illness. She was 48 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 $6,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 September. 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 Valentina 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 $6,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $340 • Memorial gathering for the family: $190 Thanks for being kind about this. - Laura

      Thank you. If you're in Fresno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Take care, Laura. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

    • Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
