Víctor, my father, passed away on 16 July after a short illness. He was 50 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 July. 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 a neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,800 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $690 • Transport of the deceased: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $560 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Luis

                            This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Jose
