Farewell fund for Alberto: help Rafael's family in A Coruña
After the sudden passing of Alberto, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇪🇸 Galicia, Spain609 views
Alberto, my brother, passed away on 22 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 $2,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Alberto 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 A Coruña hospice.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $320
• Funeral home services and casket: $980
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
