Santarém

Luiz, my brother, passed away on 19 April after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Luiz 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 $1,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $940 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $560 • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Memorial gathering for the family: $145 Glad we found this place. - Débora

sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
