Sebastian, my husband, passed away on 16 March after a sudden heart attack. He was 92 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Sebastian 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 $2,600 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Memorial gathering for the family: $520 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,640 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Wendy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($529 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • So sorry you're going through this, Wendy. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

      • your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Miami so I could bring a meal.
