Bruno, my father, passed away on 12 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 75 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 July. 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. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $620 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $520 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $155 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Hope things get better soon, Manuela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
