Gustavo, my uncle, passed away on 21 October 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 November. 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 Gustavo 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 $1,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $790 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310 • Transport of the deceased: $110 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
