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.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Columbus.

what exactly is the $5,900 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($3,600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
