Help Esperanza lay Ramón to rest with dignity in Madrid
After the sudden passing of Ramón, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain3,550 views
Ramón, my uncle, passed away on 14 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 44 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Ramón 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 $4,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $350
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
