Fernando, my husband, passed away on 12 February after a sudden heart attack. He was 85 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 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 Fernando 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $580
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,025
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Salvador.
Thinking of you and your family, Maria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Bhaktapur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hang in there, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Dhaka
Stay strong, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Vancouver

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Toronto
