Saying goodbye to Bruno - help with funeral expenses
Héctor lost his uncle suddenly and the family cannot cover funeral and burial costs of $950.
🇲🇽 Oaxaca, Mexico1,785 views
Bruno, my uncle, passed away on 27 March after a road accident. He was 73 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 April.
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 Bruno 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 $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $560
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $300
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Héctor
Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($515). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Oaxaca de Juárez: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Héctor

Wishing you peace, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Good luck, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Thinking of you, Héctor. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Oaxaca de Juárez.
Take care, Héctor. Shared it with a few friends. After 15 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
