Louis lost his brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,400.
Anywhere in the world1,605 views
Michel, my brother, passed away on 3 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 24 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 $3,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Michel 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 $3,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $980
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Memorial gathering for the family: $325
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Louis. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Grenoble.
Hope things get better soon, Louis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Good luck, Louis. Shared this with my family
is there anything that isn't money that would help Louis?
Thank you. If you're in Grenoble I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Grenoble.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Louis.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($1,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Stay strong, Louis. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Grenoble.
Stay strong, Louis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Half-Way Tree but we're thinking of you. Love from Half-Way Tree.
Take care, Louis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings!
Best of luck, Louis. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
hang in there, Louis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going, Louis. Hope you get there
Good luck, Louis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Grenoble!
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Love from Guarulhos
