Aarón, my husband, passed away on 24 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 60 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October. 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 Aarón 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 $2,250 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $460 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Memorial gathering for the family: $290 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Alberto
