Saying goodbye to Amparo - help with funeral expenses
Mateo lost his wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,250.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States3,125 views
Amparo, my wife, passed away on 17 November after a stroke. She was 70 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 December.
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 Amparo 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 Los Angeles hospice.
Where the $5,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,900
• Transport of the deceased: $570
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $780
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Mateo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg
Sending strength, Mateo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Noida so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Mateo. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Sending love, Mateo. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Take care
Wishing you the best, Mateo. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
