Heitor, my uncle, passed away on 5 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 September. 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 Heitor to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $160 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
