Farewell fund for Tomoya: help Ayumi's family in Tokyo
After the sudden passing of Tomoya, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Tomoya, my husband, passed away on 17 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 81 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 June.
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 Tomoya 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 $1,300 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
• Transport of the deceased: $330
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $660
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Ayumi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($357 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Tokyo: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Tokyo
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cairo.
keep going, Ayumi. Hope you get there. Blessings
hope things get better soon, Ayumi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
