Gabriela, my wife, passed away on 24 March after a short illness. She was 92 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 $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 April.
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 Gabriela 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 $1,800 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,100
• Transport of the deceased: $160
Thanks for reading all this.
- Rafaela

wishing you peace, Rafaela. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
how is Rafaela doing now?
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Bergamo so I could bring a meal. Love from Mexicali.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Liverpool this morning. Thinking of Juiz de Fora.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Warsaw.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to İzmir so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
