Nicolás, my brother, passed away on 21 August after a stroke. He was 73 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Nicolás 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 $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $610
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $165
• Transport of the deceased: $105
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Alejandra. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Good luck, Alejandra. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Medellín.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Medellín.
so sorry you're going through this, Alejandra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Alejandra. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
