Help Salvador lay Jimena to rest with dignity in Mérida
Jimena passed away on 24 May; we're raising $2,000 for a respectful funeral in Mérida.
🇲🇽 Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico2,044 views
Jimena, my wife, passed away on 24 May 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 $2,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 June.
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 Jimena 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 the Mérida hospice.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $390
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $140
Thank you for reading my story.

This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Benin City.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Mérida.
Sending strength, Salvador. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Faisalabad.

Thinking of you, Salvador. Your post was clear and honest. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.
