Madrid
Nicolás, my grandfather, passed away on 5 May after a stroke. He was 30 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Nicolás 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 $3,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $755 Thank you for reading my story. - Javier
