Help Gabriel lay Diego to rest with dignity in Coyoacán
Diego passed away on 16 September; we're raising $1,700 for a respectful funeral in Coyoacán.

Diego, my uncle, passed away on 16 September after a stroke. He was 87 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Diego 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,100
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $500
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Joliet.
You're not alone, Gabriel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Girona this morning. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Riverside.
