Farewell fund for Elena: help Jimena's family in Coyoacán
Jimena lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,200.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,865 views
Elena, my wife, passed away on 13 September after a short illness. She was 55 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Elena 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 $1,200 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $110
• Funeral home services and casket: $970
• Transport of the deceased: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Jimena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Los Angeles
how is Jimena doing now?
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Thinking of you, Jimena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Jimena. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Chiang Mai
Take care, Jimena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!
hope things get better soon, Jimena. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Sacramento
Hang in there, Jimena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Ikeja.
thinking of you and your family, Jimena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning
