Rubén, my father, passed away on 4 July after a stroke. He was 76 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Rubén 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 $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 35 people at work. Thinking of Medellín.
Sending love, Sofía. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
wishing you peace, Sofía. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
