Rafael, my brother, passed away on 19 September after a road accident. 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 September.
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 Rafael 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 $750 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
