Valentina, my grandmother, passed away on 13 May after complications from pneumonia. She was 82 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 May.
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 Valentina 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 $1,650 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360
• Transport of the deceased: $195
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,095
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manuela
Cemetery plot and burial fees is $360 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Manuela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Santos.
You're not alone, Manuela. Shared this with my family.

Hang in there, Manuela. Hope this works out for you. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Praying for you, Manuela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
