Palmira
Marisol, my wife, passed away on 18 December after a stroke. She was 80 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 December. 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 Marisol 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 Thanks for reading all this. - Pablo

        • Sending good thoughts, Pablo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

          • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pablo

            • Pablo N. RodríguezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

              Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

          • Wishing you the best, Pablo. Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care

            • This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Palmira.

              • You're not alone, Pablo. Looking forward to the next update.

                • You're not alone, Pablo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Love from Regensburg.

                  • Take care. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

                    • Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Nnewi.
