Sofía, my wife, passed away on 19 February after a road accident. She was 85 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 $5,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 February. 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 $5,800 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $470 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,480 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
