Farewell fund for Zenaida: help Marites's family in San Fernando
After the sudden passing of Zenaida, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Zenaida, my grandmother, passed away on 17 December after a stroke. She was 23 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 January.
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 Zenaida 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 $1,050 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280
• Funeral home services and casket: $730
• Transport of the deceased: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Marites. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Praying for you, Marites. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
You're not alone, Marites. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
