Burcu, my sister, passed away on 2 April after a stroke. She was 39 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 April.
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 Burcu 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 $950 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
• Funeral home services and casket: $870
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Neslihan. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
sending good thoughts, Neslihan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Enugu so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Praying for you, Neslihan. Shared this with my family.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Neslihan
It's all in the list in the story. transport of the deceased is the big one at $40, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Wudil.
how is Neslihan doing now?
Take care, Neslihan. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Neslihan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Rome.
