Help Oky lay Gunawan to rest with dignity in Jakarta

After the sudden passing of Gunawan, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Gunawan, my brother, passed away on 12 March after a stroke. He was 45 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 March. 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 Gunawan 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 $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 • Transport of the deceased: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Oky

  1. Quick update: $360 raised so far (60%). I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($155 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
