Help Leonardo lay Josefa to rest with dignity in Cartagena
After the sudden passing of Josefa, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇨🇴 Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia1,875 views
Josefa, my mother, passed away on 31 July after a road accident. She was 36 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Josefa 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 $1,400 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,060
Thank you so much.

Updates from Leonardo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($246 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 15% thanks to 7 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

Hang in there, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Leonardo. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cartagena!
