Bartosz, my father, passed away on 2 August after a short illness. He was 26 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Bartosz 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 $1,700 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $170 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Marcin

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,036 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Sending strength, Marcin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marcin.

      • Marcin Artur SzczepańskiOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is transport of the deceased, $170. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
