Gabriel, my uncle, passed away on 12 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 51 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Gabriel 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 $4,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $910 • Transport of the deceased: $460 • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 Thank you so much. - Sebastián

              So sorry you're going through this, Sebastián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
