Saying goodbye to Gilles - help with funeral expenses
Zoé lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,000.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France4,146 views
Gilles, my grandfather, passed away on 10 November after a road accident. 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 $4,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 November.
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 Gilles 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 the Paris hospice.
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,400
• Memorial gathering for the family: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $390
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Bogra so I could bring a meal.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Zoé?
