Beatriz, my grandmother, passed away on 17 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 67 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Beatriz 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 Bogotá hospice. Where the $1,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $960 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $145 • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Manuel
