Ga-eun, my grandmother, passed away on 20 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 68 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Ga-eun 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $3,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $550 • Transport of the deceased: $340 • Memorial gathering for the family: $310 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sung-min

  1. Update from Gangnam: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 57% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($817). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled.
