Farewell fund for Charlotte: help Jan's family in Kassel
Jan lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,400.
🇩🇪 Kassel, Hesse, Germany2,258 views
Charlotte, my sister, passed away on 9 April after a road accident. 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 $5,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 April.
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 Charlotte 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 the Kassel hospice.
Where the $5,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $500
• Memorial gathering for the family: $300
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,631 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
