Rubén, my father, passed away on 29 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 47 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Rubén 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 $800 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $610
• Transport of the deceased: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Araceli?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about memorial gathering for the family, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Greetings from London.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Araceli
Memorial gathering for the family is $100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Araceli. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Pattaya so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
best of luck, Araceli. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nairobi.
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
