Francisco, my grandfather, passed away on 31 August after a short illness. He was 88 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Francisco 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 $1,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $100

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Manoel?
Thank you. If you're in Santos I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong, Manoel. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you peace, Manoel. Shared this with my family.
hang in there, Manoel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Santos!
Hang in there, Manoel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Heliopolis.
Thanks for sharing this, Manoel. Hope you get there. Blessings.
