Özlem, my wife, passed away on 30 August after a stroke. She was 37 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Özlem 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $130
Glad we found this place.
