Help Luis lay Héctor to rest with dignity in Miami
Héctor passed away on 2 July; we're raising $4,900 for a respectful funeral in Miami.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United States5,170 views
Héctor, my grandfather, passed away on 2 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 37 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 $4,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 July.
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 Héctor 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 $4,900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $850
• Transport of the deceased: $390
• Memorial gathering for the family: $210
Thank you for reading my story.
