Farewell fund for Sofía: help Paula's family in Fresno
After the sudden passing of Sofía, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Sofía, my sister, passed away on 27 September after a road accident. She was 84 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October.
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 $4,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
