Manuela passed away on 16 September; we're raising $1,200 for a respectful funeral in São Paulo.

Manuela, my mother, passed away on 16 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 26 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 September.
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 Manuela 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 $1,200 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $110
• Memorial gathering for the family: $115
• Funeral home services and casket: $975

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Ronaldo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Ronaldo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport of the deceased, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ronaldo.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Chiang Mai so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thane.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
