Mateo, my uncle, passed away on 27 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 $4,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. 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 a local food bank. Where the $4,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $740 • Transport of the deceased: $510 • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 I hope life is good to you.
