Mercedes, my grandmother, passed away on 18 July after complications from pneumonia. She was 90 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 August. 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 Mercedes 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 $4,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $840 • Transport of the deceased: $300 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Víctor

    Hope things get better soon, Víctor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Erie.

    • Take care. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Hyderabad.

      • Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.

        • Praying for you, Víctor. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best
