Saying goodbye to Paolo - help with funeral expenses
Paolo passed away on 9 August; we're raising $850 for a respectful funeral in Bacoor.

Paolo, my brother, passed away on 9 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 27 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 August.
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 Paolo 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 Bacoor hospice.
Where the $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Victor.
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Bacoor
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Novosibirsk
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. Greetings from Eldoret
