Francisco, my grandfather, passed away on 23 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 35 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 $2,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 January.
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 Francisco 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 $2,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $580
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Memorial gathering for the family: $125

How is Rocío doing now?
hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Rocío. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Take care, Rocío. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
