Diego, my father, passed away on 2 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 69 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 $4,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Diego 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 $4,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,100 • Transport of the deceased: $500 • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Fernanda
