Florian, my brother, passed away on 7 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 32 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Florian 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 $3,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,900 • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $810 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Paul

  • stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Lyon

    • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lyon.

            Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Semarang donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Lyon.

            • Good luck, Paul. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!

              • Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
