Hanoi
Xuân, my wife, passed away on 17 September after a short illness. She was 39 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 $900 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 Xuân 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 $900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $470 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $290 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Lan

    Hope it all works out, Lan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Hanoi.

    • Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dortmund

      • hope you get there. I hope December is when things finally get easier

        • This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. God bless.

          • Take care, Lan. Shared this with my family. God bless.
