Raffaele passed away on 24 July; we're raising $3,550 for a respectful funeral in Rome.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy3,933 views
Raffaele, my grandfather, passed away on 24 July after a sudden heart attack. 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Raffaele 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 $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $710
• Transport of the deceased: $350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $290
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Viola. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Abuja.
thanks for sharing this, Viola. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you
Hang in there, Viola. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Soweto
