Fernando, my uncle, passed away on 24 September after a short illness. He was 75 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Fernando 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $480 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $290 • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
