Szymon, my father, passed away on 22 September after a stroke. He was 39 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 $2,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Szymon 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 $2,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $130
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $520
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Irena?
