Sofía, my mother, passed away on 4 April after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 58 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 $1,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 April.
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 Sofía 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 $1,950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Transport of the deceased: $115
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

good luck, Tomás. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Best of luck, Tomás. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
You're not alone, Tomás. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Jakarta!
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nuremberg.
