Héctor, my husband, passed away on 20 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 93 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Héctor 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 $1,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $840
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $520
• Transport of the deceased: $165
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
wishing you the best, Óscar. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
