Sérgio, my brother, passed away on 16 July after a stroke. He was 31 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 July. 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 Sérgio 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 São Paulo hospice. Where the $1,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $910 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Transport of the deceased: $165 • Memorial gathering for the family: $155 Thank you for reading my story.

    thinking of you and your family, Josiane. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        Stay strong, Josiane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nashik.
