Min-ji lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,750.

Ye-jin, my mother, passed away on 16 September after a short illness. She was 80 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 $3,750 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 Ye-jin 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 $3,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Min-ji doing now?
Praying for you, Min-ji. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gangnam!
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Min-ji.
Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $2,100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
rooting for you, Min-ji. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
Hope things get better soon, Min-ji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
wishing you the best, Min-ji. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
