Jin-woo, my brother, passed away on 25 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 57 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 $2,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Jin-woo 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 $2,650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $195
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $905
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Atlanta
Wishing you the best, Hye-jin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hye-jin.
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $1,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Sending love, Hye-jin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
So sorry you're going through this, Hye-jin. Hope you get there.
Hang in there, Hye-jin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Mapo.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Hye-jin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Take care
