Mercedes, my mother, passed away on 12 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 29 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Mercedes 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 the Bogotá hospice. Where the $1,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $880 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rocío
