Farewell fund for Stefano: help Christian's family in Messina
After the sudden passing of Stefano, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Stefano, my grandfather, passed away on 2 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 78 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 $3,250 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 Stefano to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $530
• Transport of the deceased: $340
• Memorial gathering for the family: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Christian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Uberlândia.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
sending good thoughts, Christian. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
