Rosario
Gerardo, my husband, passed away on 29 April after complications from pneumonia. He was 86 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 May. 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 Gerardo 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 $1,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $820 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $480 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Nuria

Updates from Nuria

  1. Update from Rosario: the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($247 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Rosario.

      • Logan Lawrence

        I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Alexandria but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Rosario.
