Odesa
Roman, my father, passed away on 3 September after a short illness. He was 41 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Roman 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: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $350 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Funeral home services and casket: $665 Thank you for reading my story.

          Thinking of you, Maria. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
