Luiz, my grandfather, passed away on 24 March after a road accident. He was 69 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Luiz 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 the São Paulo hospice.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $880
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $500
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($112 in total) I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($112). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Thinking of you and your family, Ingrid. 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. All the best!
Sending love, Ingrid. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
