Maria, my wife, passed away on 30 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 49 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Maria 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 $1,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,100 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
