Bronx
Axel, my husband, passed away on 3 February after complications from pneumonia. He was 55 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 $4,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 February. 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 Axel 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 $4,450 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $330 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,070 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. Thinking of Bronx.

      stay strong, Todd. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • Pranjal B. Pawar

        Sending love, Todd. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Salerno so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
