Graciela, my mother, passed away on 18 August after a road accident. She was 86 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 $2,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Graciela 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 $2,100 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $390
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,400
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
With deep gratitude,
Tomás

Rooting for you, Tomás. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Madrid
Wishing you peace, Tomás. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Accra but we're thinking of you. All the best!
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family!
