Funeral costs for Rubén's sister, Laura

Rubén lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,550.

Laura, my sister, passed away on 16 August after a stroke. 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 a local food bank. Where the $1,550 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340 With deep gratitude, Rubén

Updates from Rubén

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($275 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            Good luck. Hope you get there. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Guadalajara.
