Alejandro, my father, passed away on 14 May after complications from pneumonia. 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Alejandro 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 $2,250 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $420 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Transport of the deceased: $230 Every share and every dollar helps. - Tomás

Updates from Tomás

  1. Quick update: $707 raised so far (31%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Alcalá de Henares: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($257 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Jakarta

      • Hang in there, Tomás. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

        • sending love, Tomás. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares
