Anywhere in the world1,276 views
Songül, my wife, passed away on 17 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 84 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 September.
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 the Bursa hospice.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $110
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Hasan. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Islamabad but we're thinking of you
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Bursa.
So sorry you're going through this, Hasan. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Jakarta.
take care, Hasan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Entebbe so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bursa.
