Mateo, my father, passed away on 19 May after a road accident. He was 72 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 $5,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 May.
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 Mateo 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 local food bank.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Memorial gathering for the family: $480
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Gabriela. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Gabriela. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Orlando.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Orlando
Wishing you peace, Gabriela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
