Nao, my grandmother, passed away on 7 July after complications from pneumonia. She was 52 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 $4,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Nao 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 $4,450 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,200 • Transport of the deceased: $200 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Emi

  1. Small update. $585 so far, the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $610 raised so far (14%). the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($253). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  • Good luck, Emi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

    • Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Dublin donated after I showed her your page.

      • You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Tokyo.

        • Stay strong, Emi. Shared it with a few friends

          • take care, Emi. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
