Funeral costs for Helena's wife, Maja
After the sudden passing of Maja, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden2,909 views
Maja, my wife, passed away on 18 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 48 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 October.
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 Maja 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 Gothenburg hospice.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $590
• Memorial gathering for the family: $400
• Transport of the deceased: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Helena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Thinking of you and your family, Helena. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
