Alexandre, my husband, passed away on 27 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 60 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 July. 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 Alexandre 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 $1,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $560 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $490 • Transport of the deceased: $95 • Memorial gathering for the family: $155 If you're reading this, thank you. - Jéssica
