Help Soo-jin lay Hyun-ju to rest with dignity in Spokane
Soo-jin lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,200.
🇺🇸 Washington, United States2,398 views
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.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Soo-jin
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. cemetery plot and burial fees is the biggest at $690.
Praying for you, Soo-jin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Adama so I could bring a meal. Blessings
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.
keep going, Soo-jin. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
Take care, Soo-jin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update!

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Kochi but we're thinking of you. Love from Kochi.
best of luck. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mississauga but we're thinking of you. Love from Mississauga.
You're not alone, Soo-jin. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Enugu.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
