Farewell fund for Cristian: help Renata's family in Medellín
After the sudden passing of Cristian, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Cristian, my grandfather, passed away on 21 August after a stroke. He was 45 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 September.
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 Cristian 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 Medellín hospice.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
stay strong, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from San Diego

Hang in there, Renata. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
