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

Luca, my husband, passed away on 9 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 34 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Luca 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,030
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hang in there, Santiago. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Birmingham.
