Mateusz, my grandfather, passed away on 10 September after a road accident. He was 25 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 $5,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 September. 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 Mateusz 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 the Sheffield hospice. Where the $5,150 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,700 • Memorial gathering for the family: $150 Every share and every dollar helps.
