Wiktor, my brother, passed away on 10 September after a sudden heart attack. 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 $4,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September.
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 Wiktor 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 $4,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $440
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Helena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Helena.
Funeral home services and casket is $2,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
