Mateo, my brother, passed away on 10 February after a stroke. He was 39 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 $3,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 February.
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 Mateo 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 Manchester hospice.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $710
• Transport of the deceased: $520
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
