Josiane, my grandmother, passed away on 18 April after complications from pneumonia. She was 57 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 April.
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 Josiane 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: $85
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $615
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bang Khen.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 18 people at work. All the best.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Contagem.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Stay strong, André. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hope things get better soon, André. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Miami this morning.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hang in there, André. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Love from Dnipro.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Contagem.
Good luck, André. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
