Miguel, my grandfather, passed away on 24 August 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Miguel 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 $1,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $660 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $90 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 Glad we found this place.

        Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Santos.
