Marco, my uncle, passed away on 23 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 84 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 $2,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 October. 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 Marco 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 $2,900 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,500 • Memorial gathering for the family: $245 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hang in there, Caterina. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

      Wishing you peace, Caterina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Take care.
