Thiago, my brother, passed away on 18 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 42 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Thiago 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 $1,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,250
• Transport of the deceased: $120
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $380
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Luís. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Coyoacán.
Best of luck, Luís. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.
So sorry you're going through this, Luís. Shared this with my family!
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
Wishing you the best, Luís. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
good luck, Luís. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Dar es Salaam donated after I showed her your page. Take care
