Bruno, my grandfather, passed away on 17 August after a short illness. He was 72 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 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 Bruno 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 $1,250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $560
• Funeral home services and casket: $615
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Kharkiv.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nagpur.
So sorry you're going through this, Fernando. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Thane.
Sending love, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Coyoacán.
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 14 people at work.
