Itzel, my grandmother, passed away on 31 May after a short illness. She was 90 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 June.
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 Itzel 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 $4,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,700
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200
• Transport of the deceased: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $290
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Marcos. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Leicester but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Peoria.
