Renato, my father, passed away on 29 April after a stroke. He was 46 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 $1,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 May. 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 Renato 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 $1,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,100 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $660 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 Thank you for reading my story. - Mariana
