Roberto, my grandfather, passed away on 20 April after a road accident. He was 92 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 May.
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 Roberto 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Transport of the deceased: $100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $560
Thanks for being kind about this.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Iztapalapa this morning. Thinking of São Paulo.
Keep going, Anderson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Anderson. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
thinking of you and your family, Anderson. Your post was clear and honest
Hope it all works out, Anderson. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from George!
