Paula, my wife, passed away on 29 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 51 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 $4,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 June.
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 Paula 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $4,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000
• Transport of the deceased: $370
• Memorial gathering for the family: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Dominik. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending love, Dominik. Hope this works out for you.

Thinking of you and your family, Dominik. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
