João, my brother, passed away on 23 January after a road accident. He was 68 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 January.
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 João 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $590
• Funeral home services and casket: $810
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
