Sofia, my wife, passed away on 18 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 44 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 $1,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 August. 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 Sofia 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 $1,850 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $145 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Transport of the deceased: $405 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      How is Stefano doing now?

      • Delphine Manon Roger

        Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

              Memorial gathering for the family is $145 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

                  Rooting for you, Stefano. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything!

                    I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Awka
