Rome
Stefania, my sister, passed away on 23 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 77 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 October. 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 Stefania 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 $2,600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $590 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Transport of the deceased: $160 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Pietro?

      Thank you. If you're in Rome I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
