Farewell fund for Frida: help Henrik's family in Gothenburg
After the sudden passing of Frida, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden3,121 views
Frida, my mother, passed away on 6 September after a short illness. She was 26 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 September.
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 Frida 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 $5,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Transport of the deceased: $450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $300
With deep gratitude,
Henrik
Updates from Henrik
Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,528 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $1,279 so far, I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henrik.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($3,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Henrik. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mumbai.
So sorry you're going through this, Henrik. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
How is Henrik doing now?
gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Greensboro
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Henrik?
Thank you. If you're in Gothenburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace, Henrik. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gothenburg.
take care. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Gothenburg.
hang in there, Henrik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Stockholm
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Lucknow donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Lucknow.
Wishing you peace, Henrik. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mobile
