Santos
Cláudio, my grandfather, passed away on 29 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 23 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October. 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 Cláudio 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 $1,050 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 • Transport of the deceased: $160 • Funeral home services and casket: $750 Thank you for reading my story.

    Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Santos

    • Bình Hùng ThaiQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sandra

      • Sandra Gabriela AzevedoOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is memorial gathering for the family, $140. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

    • Kevin H. Molefe

      Wishing you the best, Sandra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

        Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Sylhet
