Gustavo, my husband, passed away on 20 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 89 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Gustavo 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 $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $520
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $390
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
With deep gratitude,
Gustavo

Sending strength, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bronx
Praying for you, Gustavo. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Wishing you peace, Gustavo. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Gustavo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.
