Jorge, my father, passed away on 2 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 63 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 $1,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Jorge 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 $1,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,200
• Transport of the deceased: $170
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $480
Thank you so much.
Updates from Amparo
Update from Tehuacán: I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

best of luck, Amparo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Tehuacán.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Kassel donated after I showed her your page.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Best of luck, Amparo. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bronx.
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Amparo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
