Support Juanita's Burial with Her Beloved Dad

Donation protected
My name is Ellen. My daughter, Juanita Cervantes, passed away on October 17, 2018, after a 2-year battle with cervical cancer. A good friend and artist, John Jimenez, created the urn/box in the picture.

My dilemma is, I don't have a place of my own because I opted to rent my entire life (silly me). Juanita was my only child, and she never had any children. It's just me, and I just moved to a small place. In the process, I felt like I was disturbing her peace. I'll be here for one year and then I move again. I don't want to keep moving her and disturbing her peace.

Juanita's beloved father, Armando, died 12 years ago, and I thought I should find out what it would entail to bury her with her father at Rosario Cemetery. My sister-in-law told me it would cost $1800 + tax to get an urn buried with him. This box is bigger than an urn. I'm hoping it's not too much more than what I'm requesting, but if so, I started saving what I can, just in case.

Along with this burial, I would like to invite her closest friends for prayer and reminiscing of her life as she is laid to rest with her father. At last, she will be in peace and can rest.

Thank you ahead of time for your generous donation. Love to all our friends and family.
