Leo, my father, passed away on 17 September after a short illness. He was 89 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 $5,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Leo 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 $5,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,100
• Transport of the deceased: $660
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
With deep gratitude,
Claire

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Brescia.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending strength, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Hang in there, Claire. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength, Claire. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ottawa
