Renata, my wife, passed away on 20 December after a road accident. She was 55 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 $4,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 January.
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 Renata 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 $4,750 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $220
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,100
• Transport of the deceased: $430
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal
Keep going, Araceli. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Porto Alegre but we're thinking of you

You're not alone, Araceli. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

Hang in there, Araceli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
