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.

is there anything that isn't money that would help 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
