Shinji, my father, passed away on 14 July after a short illness. He was 41 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 $3,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Shinji 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 $3,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Sending strength, Ayumi. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

      Praying for you, Ayumi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Atlanta so I could bring a meal

        • Olivier LegrandQuestion

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ayumi.

          • Ayumi Kana EndoOwnerAnswer

            Funeral home services and casket is $2,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

        • Malak Manal Habib

          Good luck, Ayumi. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care

          • Lorenzo S. Medina

            Keep going, Ayumi. Shared this with my family. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from La Plata.

              Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Tokyo.
