Joaquim, my husband, passed away on 11 February after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 51 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 March. 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 Joaquim 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 $600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $470 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Josiane
