Víctor, my husband, passed away on 9 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 84 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 $5,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 September. 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 Víctor 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 the Rochester hospice. Where the $5,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $650 • Transport of the deceased: $330 • Memorial gathering for the family: $320 Thanks for reading all this.
