Funeral costs for Víctor's grandmother, Elena

🇨🇴 Colombia1,016 views
Elena, my grandmother, passed away on 16 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 47 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 October.
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 Elena 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 $500 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Funeral home services and casket: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Is transport of the deceased the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport of the deceased is the biggest at $55. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Envigado
Thank you. If you're in Envigado I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Cox's Bazar.
Sending strength, Víctor. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Víctor. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
