Xalapa
Tomás, my uncle, passed away on 1 June after a sudden heart attack. 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 $1,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 June. 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 Tomás 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 local food bank. Where the $1,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $135 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Emilio
