Farewell fund for Abigail: help Mateo's family in Birmingham
Mateo lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,300.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom4,451 views
Abigail, my mother, passed away on 16 July after a short illness. She was 43 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 $4,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 August.
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 Abigail 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 $4,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,900
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $510
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thinking of you, Mateo. Hope you get there. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Birmingham.
Sending love, Mateo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
