Kyung-soo, my uncle, passed away on 29 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 65 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 May. 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 Kyung-soo 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $1,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $210 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,240 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
