Marta, my mother, passed away on 12 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 93 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Marta 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 $800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $380
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope it all works out, Andrés. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Auckland.
Hope things get better soon, Andrés. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
