Mariana, my mother, passed away on 13 September after a stroke. She was 79 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 October.
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 Mariana 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 Guadalupe hospice.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360
• Memorial gathering for the family: $145
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,195
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Gustavo. This could happen to any of us.
Praying for you, Gustavo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Leeds
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Guadalupe.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
You're not alone, Gustavo. Looking forward to the next update
