Carlo, my husband, passed away on 4 May after a stroke. He was 44 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 $2,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 May. 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 Carlo 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 $2,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,950 • Transport of the deceased: $125 • Memorial gathering for the family: $275 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Praying for you, Elisa. Your post was clear and honest. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • Dagmawit Netsanet NegashQuestion

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Elisa?

      • Sameer W. More

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Rome.

        • Rima Sathi Bose

          So sorry you're going through this, Elisa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Patras but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Rome.

          • Segun Olawale

            Best of luck, Elisa. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
