Silvia, my sister, passed away on 10 September after a short illness. She was 40 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Silvia 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 $1,500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $220 • Transport of the deceased: $130 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Hang in there, Riccardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
