Álvaro, my father, passed away on 25 September after a short illness. He was 31 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 $1,100 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 Álvaro 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 $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $390
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $450
• Transport of the deceased: $150
• Memorial gathering for the family: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Manuel. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
