Feyza, my mother, passed away on 23 August after a short illness. She was 74 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 $1,000 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 Feyza 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 $1,000 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340 • Transport of the deceased: $145 • Funeral home services and casket: $515 Thanks for being kind about this. - Berk
