Setagaya
Jiro, my uncle, passed away on 1 September after a stroke. He was 54 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 $3,250 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 Jiro 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 $3,250 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $330 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 Glad we found this place. - Ren

        reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Iztapalapa donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
