Viviane, my mother, passed away on 25 May after complications from pneumonia. She was 78 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 June. 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 Viviane 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 $1,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $940 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510 • Transport of the deceased: $140 • Memorial gathering for the family: $110 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Raimundo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from São Paulo: I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Raimundo

  3. We're at 7% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. More news soon.
