Seung-hyun, my grandfather, passed away on 24 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 49 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 $3,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 August. 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 Seung-hyun 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 local food bank. Where the $3,900 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000 • Memorial gathering for the family: $105 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,795 With deep gratitude, Da-eun

Updates from Da-eun

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($180 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Da-eun

        Cemetery plot and burial fees is $1,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

        good luck, Da-eun. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal.

            Hope it all works out, Da-eun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
