Farewell fund for Miguel: help Santiago's family in Philadelphia
Santiago lost his father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,300.
🇺🇸 United States4,415 views
Miguel, my father, passed away on 27 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 43 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 $3,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Miguel 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 $3,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Memorial gathering for the family: $400
Thanks for reading all this.
