After the sudden passing of Gabriel, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Gabriel, my husband, passed away on 27 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 51 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Gabriel 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 $1,750 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $880 • Memorial gathering for the family: $450 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

        Praying for you, Leo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Gatineau so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Soweto.

            sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

              Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning.
