Juan, my brother, passed away on 21 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 37 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 $4,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Juan 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 Alcalá de Henares hospice.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $390
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Joaquín. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 25 people at work.
You're not alone, Joaquín. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares
