Ginevra, my grandmother, passed away on 21 July after a road accident. She was 82 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Ginevra 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 local food bank. Where the $2,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $200 • Memorial gathering for the family: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Mattia

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mattia?

    • Thank you. If you're in Bergamo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Mattia. Shared this with my family.

    • This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bergamo

      • hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bergamo.

        • Sending strength, Mattia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Wellington donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

          • Sending good thoughts, Mattia. Hope you get there. Sent it to 28 people at work. All the best.

            • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
