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

            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.
