After the sudden passing of Santiago, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Santiago, my father, passed away on 17 November after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 26 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 December. 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 Santiago 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 $2,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,230 With deep gratitude, John

Updates from John

  1. We're at 13% thanks to 8 of you. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
