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.
