Help Dolores lay Valentina to rest with dignity in Austin
Dolores lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,150.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States787 views
Valentina, my mother, passed away on 2 August after a short illness. She was 54 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Valentina 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 the Austin hospice.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $680
• Transport of the deceased: $540
• Memorial gathering for the family: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 3 people at work. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Dolores. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending strength, Dolores. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Adama.
Take care, Dolores. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 14 people at work.
