Fernando, my grandfather, passed away on 13 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 83 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Fernando 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 $1,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $930 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 • Transport of the deceased: $150 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 Thank you so much. - Lucas
