Maurício, my father, passed away on 17 July after a short illness. He was 67 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 August. 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 Maurício 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 $600 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $370 • Transport of the deceased: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Giovana
