Help Júlia lay Felipe to rest with dignity in Porto Alegre
Júlia lost her husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $900.
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil1,614 views
Felipe, my husband, passed away on 7 June after a stroke. He was 45 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 June.
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 Felipe 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 $900 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Funeral home services and casket: $625
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
