Mariana, my wife, passed away on 5 December after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 88 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 18 December.
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 Mariana 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 local food bank.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,100
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Sérgio. Looking forward to the next update!
Thinking of you and your family, Sérgio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Lagos.
Sending good thoughts, Sérgio. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 35 people at work.
