Farewell fund for Julián: help Emiliano's family in Veracruz
After the sudden passing of Julián, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Mexico1,924 views
Julián, my brother, passed away on 25 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 35 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Julián 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 $1,000 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $150
• Funeral home services and casket: $600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Shared it with a few friends. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Veracruz.
good luck, Emiliano. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Stay strong, Emiliano. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Emiliano. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Vancouver
Stay strong, Emiliano. Looking forward to the next update. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
