Jéssica, my wife, passed away on 26 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 56 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 May. 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 Jéssica 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 $650 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $145 • Transport of the deceased: $155 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Cláudio

  1. Small update. $128 so far, I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($128). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.

  3. Update from Rio de Janeiro: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
