Raúl, my father, passed away on 23 November after a road accident. 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 December. 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 Raúl 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 $1,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $770 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $450 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 Thanks for reading all this.
