Jimena, my wife, passed away on 2 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 30 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 $3,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Jimena 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 local food bank.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $440
• Memorial gathering for the family: $195
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,265
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going, Lorenzo. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Houston
Wishing you peace, Lorenzo. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Regina so I could bring a meal
