Budi, my father, passed away on 28 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 44 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Budi 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 $900 goes: โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $70 โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $550 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Lukman

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($78 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the first invoice got paid this week.
