Adriana, my grandmother, passed away on 18 June after a sudden heart attack. She was 25 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Adriana 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 Iztapalapa hospice. Where the $700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540 • Transport of the deceased: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ignacio
