Farewell fund for Derya: help Melek's family in Bursa
Melek lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,300.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,178 views
Derya, my mother, passed away on 28 May after a short illness. She was 79 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 June.
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 Derya 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 $1,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $940
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

how is Melek doing now?
Rooting for you, Melek. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Riyadh donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Riyadh.
Thinking of you, Melek. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Love from Birmingham.
Praying for you, Melek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bogotá
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Bursa.
Good luck, Melek. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Bursa.
