Javier, my father, passed away on 27 February after a stroke. He was 42 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 March. 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 Javier 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 $4,600 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,530 With deep gratitude, Julián
