José, my grandfather, passed away on 17 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 36 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 October.
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 José 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $115
• Funeral home services and casket: $630
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $255
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Fernando?
Thank you. If you're in Duque de Caxias I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Take care, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fernando.
Thinking of you and your family, Fernando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
sending love, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you, Fernando. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Newcastle
