Arturo, my uncle, passed away on 25 July after a stroke. He was 27 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 $3,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Arturo 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 $3,350 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150 • Transport of the deceased: $410 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,790 I hope life is good to you. - Francisco

        Good luck. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

          Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
