Marco, my grandfather, passed away on 2 December after a short illness. He was 82 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 December. 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 Marco 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 $3,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $890 • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Memorial gathering for the family: $290 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Pietro
