Farewell fund for Manuel: help Gabriela's family in La Plata
Gabriela lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,500.

Manuel, my grandfather, passed away on 29 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 73 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Manuel to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $940
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $440
• Memorial gathering for the family: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
