Valentyna, my wife, passed away on 24 August after a short illness. She was 65 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Valentyna 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 $1,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $200
• Memorial gathering for the family: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Igor. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rohini
Stay strong, Igor. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Igor. Looking forward to the next update!
wishing you peace, Igor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Jalandhar donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jakarta.
Take care, Igor. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Rooting for you, Igor. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
