Soledad, my mother, passed away on 2 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 49 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 $2,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Soledad 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850
• Transport of the deceased: $600
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Valentina
Quick update: $2,595 raised so far (89%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from El Paso: I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. We're at 34% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($735). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.
