Javier, my uncle, passed away on 14 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 51 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 $2,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Javier to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $2,550 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $740 Thank you for reading my story. - Ramón

              Keep going, Ramón. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
