Tiago, my husband, passed away on 22 February after complications from pneumonia. He was 29 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 7 March.
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 Tiago 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:
• Funeral home services and casket: $550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Memorial gathering for the family: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Sônia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Praying for you, Sônia. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best, Sônia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
