An $8,000 bill to pay before he rests in peace
Neither landlady nor man's family can afford to send body home
By Anthony
REINHART,
Page A1
Toronto -- After working each day to build houses he couldn't
afford, Alvaro Vargas
FONSECA would lay his body down in a small,
rented room in Toronto.
Today, Mr.
FONSECA's corpse lies at a west-end funeral home,
in a lonely state of limbo, where it will stay until someone
pays $8,000 to send it home to Costa Rica.
Mr. FONSECA, 38, was among the estimated 20,000 illegal immigrants
working in greater Toronto's construction industry when a heart
attack felled him on a Mississauga job site on February 25.
With no loved ones in Canada to claim him, it fell to his landlady,
Cristina CARBALLO, to have his body taken to a funeral home while
she conferred by telephone with his distraught relatives in the
Central American country.
Trouble is, neither Ms.
CARBALLO nor Mr.
FONSECA's family can
afford the $8,000 cost to send his remains home.
The situation is particularly distressing to Ms.
CARBALLO, who
now finds herself on a financial hook for a second time for trying
to do right by Mr.
FONSECA.
The first time was in July of 2006, when she borrowed $2,000
in cash and put up $6,000 against the value of her modest Toronto
home to bail Mr.
FONSECA out of immigration detention, where
he was awaiting deportation. She had never met him, but had learned
of his plight though her brother, an acquaintance.
Upon Mr. FONSECA's release, Ms.
CARBALLO rented him a room in
her basement for $400 a month, while he worked as a framer and
chipped away at the paperwork to obtain legal status.
Since Mr. FONSECA's death 10 days ago, she has asked Citizenship
and Immigration Canada to return the $2,000 in bail money so
that she can apply it to the cost of shipping his remains, but
was told she must first provide a death certificate - then wait,
possibly months - for her request to wind through the bureaucracy.
"I just want to help," said Ms.
CARBALLO, 45, who came legally
to Canada from El Salvador 20 years ago and now runs her own
beauty salon. A single mother of three, she sympathized with
Mr. FONSECA, who was sending money home to his three children.
His co-workers at a Brampton-based contracting firm have set
up a fund in hopes of covering the body transport costs, to which
Local 183 of the Labourers' International Union of North America
has made a "substantial donation," Michael
O'BRIEN, a union official,
said yesterday.
Roger NAIR, a customer and friend of Ms.
CARBALLO, has also come
to her aid. Mr.
NAIR, who runs a film production company and,
by coincidence, is working on a project about the hidden lives
of refugees in Toronto, has arranged for a lawyer to make inquiries
with the immigration department, free of charge, on her behalf.
A Citizenship and Immigration department spokesman, citing privacy
rules, declined to comment on Mr.
FONSECA's case.
Beyond the specifics of government policy, Mr.
NAIR finds sad
irony in what he sees as a lack of official concern for the fate
of the dead man's remains, or for Ms.
CARBALLO, whose only motive
was to help another human being.
"The Canadian government would have stepped up to the plate to
deport this guy in two seconds, and sent him back and paid for
his flight," Mr.
NAIR said. "Now the guy is dead, so what are
we doing? Are we just going to leave him to rot?"
Ms. CARBALLO, who could have walked away but chose not to, is
"actually getting penalized for helping someone."
As for Canada, Mr.
NAIR struggled with disquieting thoughts about
a country that so often fancies itself a paragon of decency in
a cold world.
"I take it that we have become so uncompassionate about people
around us," he said. "We don't see that everybody's got a life,
and they have a family, and we can't see beyond our noses.
"We're a well-to-do country. I don't think it's right."
