Help Gül lay Gökhan to rest with dignity in Kadıköy
After the sudden passing of Gökhan, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye1,949 views
Gökhan, my grandfather, passed away on 21 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 44 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 $1,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October.
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 Gökhan 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 $1,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $670
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $115
With deep gratitude,
Gül
