Daniela, my sister, passed away on 22 September after a stroke. She was 92 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 $5,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 September.
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 Daniela 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 $5,300 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $410
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,440
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Cristian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there, Cristian. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Mar del Plata so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Hobart.
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Butwal.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Jose
Hope things get better soon, Cristian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Surabaya.
