Otávio, my father, passed away on 26 January after a road accident. He was 59 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 February.
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 Otávio 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 $1,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
With deep gratitude,
Carolina
