Petrópolis
Pedro, my grandfather, passed away on 4 September after a short illness. He was 90 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 $1,100 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 Pedro to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $580 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $155 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Raimundo

  1. Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($295). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled.
