Armando, my grandfather, passed away on 22 January after complications from pneumonia. He was 77 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 February.
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 Armando 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 San Cristóbal de las Casas hospice.
Where the $350 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185
• Transport of the deceased: $90
Thank you so much.
- Bruno
