Songül, my sister, passed away on 5 January after a stroke. She was 75 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 January.
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.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Funeral home services and casket: $880
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Best of luck. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kasarani
Hope it all works out, Ceren. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Ceren. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength, Ceren. Shared this with my family.
Good luck, Ceren. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Ceren. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
