Armando, my brother, passed away on 19 April after a stroke. He was 44 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 April. 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 Armando to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,450 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $120 • Funeral home services and casket: $820 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510 Every share and every dollar helps. - Iván
