My name is Maria Cabrera, and I'm 67 years old. I need help burying my husband. We were together for 43 years; he was 75 years old and he was my companion and my very best friend. He was a hardworking man, an animal lover (he had dogs and a big, fat black cat named Noir, who he would spoil), a loving father and grandfather. He worked all his life until he couldn't.

Please, please help us lay him to rest. Like most of us, he had a very hard life growing up, but he never let it define him. He wasn't perfect, but he tried his hardest to give us what he could. Whatever you can give, we will be so grateful; anything will help. As I'm writing this, my heart is breaking and grieving for my husband. While I know everyone is struggling to just survive in this day and age, please just share this GoFundMe with groups or organizations.

We already lost so many family members in one year, and my husband's passing shocked everyone. It hurts so much that I can't have breakfast or go on little outings with my husband anymore. He would always say we were like a pair of old little birdies. Thank you for any donations you bless us with. I have comfort in knowing my God and my Jesus are taking care of my husband.

Please, if you have loved ones, hug them and tell them you love them now. Let them know how much you cherish them. Tomorrow is not promised to us, so show and say how you feel.
