Stefano, my uncle, passed away on 13 July after a stroke. He was 71 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 $3,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 July.
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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $650
• Transport of the deceased: $340
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
Thanks for reading all this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,160 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($1,260). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

Take care, Marisa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Stay strong, Marisa. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
You're not alone, Marisa. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Milan.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 39 people at work.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Istanbul.
