Laura, my grandmother, passed away on 1 August 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 August.
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 Laura 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 the Buenos Aires hospice.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $680
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Sending good thoughts, Miguel. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Sending good thoughts, Miguel. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thinking of you, Miguel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hang in there, Miguel. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from București.
Hope it all works out, Miguel. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
