Petra, my wife, passed away on 22 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 83 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 $3,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October. 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 Petra 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 $3,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $430 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Helene. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Regensburg

    • So sorry you're going through this, Helene. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Niterói.

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

        • Take care, Helene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Coimbatore donated after I showed her your page.

          • So sorry you're going through this, Helene. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Akron
