Orlando, my grandfather, passed away on 31 July after a road accident. He was 36 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Orlando 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 the Makati hospice.
Where the $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $460
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $150
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
