Funeral costs for Fernando's mother, Soledad
After the sudden passing of Soledad, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇨🇴 Colombia714 views
Soledad, my mother, passed away on 3 August after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Soledad 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 $900 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $135
• Funeral home services and casket: $705
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Fernando
Good news. Because of your gifts ($295 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
