Gabriele, my father, passed away on 20 September after a road accident. He was 37 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 $3,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 October. 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 Gabriele 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 $3,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $730 • Transport of the deceased: $390 • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Paolo
