Farewell fund for Valentina: help Rowan's family in San Antonio
Rowan lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,250.
🇺🇸 San Antonio, Texas, United States800 views
Valentina, my mother, passed away on 7 September after a road accident. She was 40 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September.
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 Valentina 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 $5,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500
• Transport of the deceased: $175
• Memorial gathering for the family: $375
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Saket
