Tommaso, my brother, passed away on 18 September after a stroke. He was 92 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 $3,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 September. 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 Tommaso 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 $3,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $820 • Transport of the deceased: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 I hope life is good to you. - Tommaso
