Okta, my sister, passed away on 29 January after a short illness. She was 65 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 February. 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 Okta 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $45 โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $300 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Iwan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Depok: we've started the first stage. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. 11% there. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
