Lucía, my wife, passed away on 23 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 62 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 5 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 Lucía 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 $1,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $790
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care, Graciela. Gave what I could, wish it was more
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Cape Coast
Keep going, Graciela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
