Mateo, my husband, passed away on 31 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 87 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 $3,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Mateo 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 $3,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,350
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Memorial gathering for the family: $280
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Take care, Maria. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Sheffield.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Maria. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope you get there. Love from Kilkenny
