Büşra, my grandmother, passed away on 26 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 36 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. 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 Büşra 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 $1,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $880 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Transport of the deceased: $135 • Memorial gathering for the family: $115 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
