Funeral costs for Luis's father, Nicolás
Nicolás passed away on 8 April; we're raising $1,750 for a respectful funeral in Coyoacán.

Nicolás, my father, passed away on 8 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 36 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 $1,750 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 Nicolás 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 local food bank.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $440
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
