Kenta, my brother, passed away on 9 July after a stroke. He was 38 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 July.
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 Kenta 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 local food bank.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $490
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,050
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ren!
It's all in the list in the story. memorial gathering for the family is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
So sorry you're going through this, Ren. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 4 people at work. Take care.
Stay strong, Ren. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kobe.
Thinking of you and your family, Ren. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from La Plata
Keep going, Ren. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Seoul so I could bring a meal. Take care
Stay strong, Ren. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Ren. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Mumbai.
