Moritz, my grandfather, passed away on 4 July after a stroke. He was 47 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 $3,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 July.
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 Moritz 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 $3,000 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $185
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,350
• Transport of the deceased: $465
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Paris this morning.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Heliopolis
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. Love from San Diego.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
