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. - Helena
