Víctor, my father, passed away on 15 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 45 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 $6,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Víctor 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 $6,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,000 • Transport of the deceased: $660 • Memorial gathering for the family: $340 If you're reading this, thank you. - Andrés

Updates from Andrés

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($730 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from El Paso: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Andrés

        Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of El Paso.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Swansea.

                take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal

                  Hope it all works out, Andrés. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together

                    wishing you peace, Andrés. Hope you get there. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
