Pierre, my brother, passed away on 15 July after a stroke. He was 85 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 $2,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Pierre 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 $2,300 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $360 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600 • Transport of the deceased: $340 Thank you for reading my story.

        Thank you. If you're in Mississauga I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

      Wishing you peace, Guillaume. Hope you get there. After 22 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • Best of luck, Guillaume. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mississauga!

        • Wishing you peace, Guillaume. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.

          • Praying for you, Guillaume. Shared this with my family. Love from Rome

            • Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kharkiv
