Rodrigo, my husband, passed away on 7 September after a short illness. He was 53 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 September. 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 Rodrigo 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 $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $460 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $490 • Transport of the deceased: $95 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Thanks for reading all this. - Susana
