Farewell fund for Adrián: help Dolores's family in Medellín
Dolores lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $700.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia1,903 views
Adrián, my brother, passed away on 2 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 83 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Adrián 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 $700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510
• Transport of the deceased: $85
• Memorial gathering for the family: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Santa Rosa.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Medellín.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Medellín.
Thank you. If you're in Medellín I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Take care, Dolores. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Cambridge.
looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Stay strong, Dolores. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Kathmandu but we're thinking of you.
wishing you the best, Dolores. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Medellín
