Hyun-ju, my wife, passed away on 27 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 91 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 $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Hyun-ju 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 $3,200 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $690 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,300 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Soo-jin

      Hope it all works out, Soo-jin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Spokane.
