Help Paloma lay Óscar to rest with dignity in Raleigh
Óscar passed away on 4 July; we're raising $5,550 for a respectful funeral in Raleigh.
🇺🇸 North Carolina, United States4,309 views
Óscar, my grandfather, passed away on 4 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 86 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 $5,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Óscar 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 $5,550 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $510
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,640
Thanks for reading all this.

Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Raleigh.
Thank you. If you're in Raleigh I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Takoradi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Paloma. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
