Florian, my brother, passed away on 6 September after a stroke. He was 59 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 $4,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 September. 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 Florian 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 $4,750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Transport of the deceased: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Maëlle

  1. Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($1,536). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family.

  2. Quick update: $1,017 raised so far (21%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($294 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Praying for you, Maëlle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

      Best of luck, Maëlle. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Christchurch.

      • Aaron C. Luna

        Keep going, Maëlle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Saint-Denis.

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Marseille.
