Giovanna, my grandmother, passed away on 20 April after a stroke. She was 28 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 April. 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 Giovanna 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 $3,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Transport of the deceased: $125 • Memorial gathering for the family: $275 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Alberto

Updates from Alberto

  1. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($285). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.
