Joaquín, my husband, passed away on 18 August after complications from pneumonia. 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 $2,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Joaquín 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 $2,200 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550 • Memorial gathering for the family: $230 • Transport of the deceased: $420 I hope life is good to you. - Daniela
