Mariana, my wife, passed away on 20 October after a road accident. She was 51 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 $2,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 November. 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 Mariana 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 $2,900 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $430 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,150 • Memorial gathering for the family: $320 Thank you so much. - Nicolás

            Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
