Saying goodbye to Sofía - help with funeral expenses
Sofía passed away on 25 July; we're raising $3,100 for a respectful funeral in Las Cruces.

Sofía, my grandmother, passed away on 25 July after a sudden heart attack. She was 87 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 $3,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 August.
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 Sofía 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 $3,100 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $330
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $760
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,010
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Las Cruces.
Thank you. If you're in Las Cruces I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Peoria
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Las Cruces
