Rodrigo, my father, passed away on 9 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 40 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 $5,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Rodrigo 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 a local food bank. Where the $5,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $940 • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Wishing you the best, Javier. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.

      Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

      • thinking of you and your family, Javier. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Keep going, Javier. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

          • So sorry you're going through this, Javier. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
