Dolores, my mother, passed away on 28 April after a short illness. She was 31 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 May. 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 Dolores 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 local food bank. Where the $4,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $930 • Transport of the deceased: $370 Thank you for reading my story. - Gustavo

Updates from Gustavo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($533 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 6% thanks to 11 of you. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. More news soon.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($133). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
