Giovanni, my father, passed away on 26 April after a sudden heart attack. He was 77 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Giovanni 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 the Milan hospice.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $920
• Transport of the deceased: $230
• Memorial gathering for the family: $300
If you're reading this, thank you.

This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Milan.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Francesca?
Thank you. If you're in Milan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Francesca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Francesca
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($2,800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Lahore
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
You're not alone, Francesca. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Joliet!
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. God bless!
Hope things get better soon, Francesca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Saket.
