Funeral costs for Oren's mother, Keren
Oren lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,500.

Keren, my mother, passed away on 7 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 61 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 $3,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Keren 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 $3,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Oren. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from Surakarta
Good luck, Oren. 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. Thinking of Tel Aviv
rooting for you, Oren. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Islamabad but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oren.
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $1,350, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
you're not alone, Oren. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Kozhikode.
keep going, Oren. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Kyiv!
Sending good thoughts, Oren. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Love from Surabaya.
