Enes, my grandfather, passed away on 18 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 55 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 23 May. 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 Enes 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 the Braunschweig hospice. Where the $3,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,700 • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Emine
