Farewell fund for Mateo: help Verónica's family in Anaheim
Mateo passed away on 7 August; we are raising $3,750 for a respectful funeral in Anaheim.

Mateo, my father, passed away on 7 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 74 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Mateo 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 $3,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $200
• Memorial gathering for the family: $350
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Verónica. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Verónica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Gaziantep.
Praying for you, Verónica. Looking forward to the next update. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope you get there. Love from Savannah.
