Farewell fund for Kacper: help Ewa's family in Gdańsk
Ewa lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,600.
🇵🇱 Gdańsk, Pomerania, Poland1,806 views
Kacper, my grandfather, passed away on 3 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 63 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 August.
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 Kacper to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the Gdańsk hospice.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $175
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Catania.
how is Ewa doing now?
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Bekasi but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Take care, Ewa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ewa.
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $1,050, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Gdańsk
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ewa?
Thank you. If you're in Gdańsk I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Jacksonville this morning. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Gdańsk.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Abuja!
Sending strength, Ewa. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Winnipeg.
Thanks for sharing this, Ewa. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. 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. Blessings
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update!
Take care, Ewa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
