Rafaela, my wife, passed away on 18 March after a stroke. She was 45 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 April. 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 Rafaela 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 $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $480 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $480 • Transport of the deceased: $105 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ingrid
