Lorena, my mother, passed away on 8 July after a road accident. She was 80 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 July. 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 Lorena 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 $1,750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,100 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $500 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $85 Thanks for reading all this. - Fernando

        wishing you peace, Fernando. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Coyoacán

          Wishing you the best, Fernando. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

                  Sending good thoughts, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
