San Fernando
Orlando, my brother, passed away on 4 October after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 41 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Orlando 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 $950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $540 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
