Filip, my husband, passed away on 4 May after a road accident. He was 82 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 $5,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 May. 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 Filip 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 $5,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000 • Transport of the deceased: $165 • Memorial gathering for the family: $485 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Elias
