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
