Farewell fund for Songül: help Ahmet's family in Istanbul

Songül, my mother, passed away on 21 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 64 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 October. 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 Songül 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 $1,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360 • Transport of the deceased: $120 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
