Luís, my grandfather, passed away on 7 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 25 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Luís 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 local food bank. Where the $1,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $350 • Transport of the deceased: $100 • Memorial gathering for the family: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Patrícia
