Funeral costs for Claudia's grandfather, Rubén
After the sudden passing of Rubén, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Rubén, my grandfather, passed away on 12 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 27 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 $5,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Rubén 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 $5,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $400
• Memorial gathering for the family: $400

Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Jakarta.
