Rome
Alice, my sister, passed away on 13 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 50 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 August. 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 Alice to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $4,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Transport of the deceased: $240 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Sending love, Enrico. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
