Eren, my grandfather, passed away on 25 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 62 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Eren 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $670 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    You're not alone, Pınar. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Cartagena so I could bring a meal. Love from Hải Phòng.

      Good luck. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
