Leonardo, my uncle, passed away on 28 December after a road accident. He was 43 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 $5,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 January. 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 Leonardo 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 $5,900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600 • Transport of the deceased: $540 • Memorial gathering for the family: $160 Thank you so much. - Liam
