Help Ricardo lay Alejandra to rest with dignity in San Nicolás de los Garza
Ricardo lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,350.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,347 views
Alejandra, my sister, passed away on 10 September after a stroke. She was 41 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 September.
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 Alejandra 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 $1,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $700
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $410
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Memorial gathering for the family: $105
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Nicolás de los Garza
Thank you. If you're in San Nicolás de los Garza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

Keep going, Ricardo. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
