Mapo
Byung-hun, my grandfather, passed away on 8 September after a short illness. He was 68 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 $2,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 September. 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 Byung-hun to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program. Where the $2,650 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $230 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,220 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Na-young

      Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Karthik B. Acharya

        rooting for you, Na-young. I hope things turn around soon!

        • Isabelle P. Wilkins

          Thinking of you, Na-young. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal

          • Fernanda Beatriz Leite

            Take care, Na-young. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mapo.
