Daniela, my sister, passed away on 24 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 37 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 $2,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 October. 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 Daniela 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 $2,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $430 • Transport of the deceased: $280 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Sergio

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,496 in total) the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
