Sofía, my mother, passed away on 27 June after a short illness. She was 47 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 July. 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 Sofía 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 $4,950 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,150 • Transport of the deceased: $300 Thank you so much.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Ottawa but we're thinking of you.

You're not alone, Álvaro. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Heliopolis.
