Armando, my father, passed away on 19 September after a road accident. He was 92 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 $3,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 September. 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 Armando 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 $3,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $220 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Elena
