Héctor, my grandfather, passed away on 15 July after a stroke. He was 40 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 July. 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 Héctor 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 $1,550 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $260 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,010 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
