🇺🇸 United States6,422 views
Mateo, my grandfather, passed away on 25 October after complications from pneumonia. He was 37 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 $6,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 November.
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 Mateo 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 $6,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $430
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Houston
Keep going, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
keep going, Valentina. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. I hope things turn around soon
