Ji-yeon, my grandmother, passed away on 17 September after a road accident. She was 83 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Ji-yeon 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 $1,250 goes: โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $310 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $820 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $120 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Jung-ho

  1. Update from Mapo: I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 31% thanks to 17 of you. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. More news soon.

  • is memorial gathering for the family the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Jung-ho BaekOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Memorial gathering for the family is $310 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

  • Stay strong, Jung-ho. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

    • Otieno Wafula MbwamboAddress verified

      Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Sent it to 32 people at work

      • Is it paid to the funeral home directly?

        • Jung-ho BaekOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          It comes to me first, then I pay the funeral home myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Fair thing to want to know.

      • Stay strong, Jung-ho. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

        • Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Mapo.

          • shared it with a few friends. God bless.

            • Shared this with my family. God bless.

              • Thinking of you, Jung-ho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Mapo.
