Luana, my mother, passed away on 31 October after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 85 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 November. 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 Luana to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $1,400 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510 • Funeral home services and casket: $830 • Transport of the deceased: $60 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Francisca

  1. Update from Ribeirão Preto: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $349 raised so far (25%). the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($294 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
