Chae-won, my sister, passed away on 15 September after a road accident. She was 67 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Chae-won 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 $4,550 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $220
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,780
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

What's already covered and what's the $4,550 for?
It's all in the list in the story. transport of the deceased is the big one at $550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
hang in there, Jae-won. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Mohammedia so I could bring a meal. Take care!
How is Jae-won doing now?
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jae-won?
Thank you. If you're in Bakersfield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Casablanca.
Thinking of you and your family, Jae-won. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Ogbomosho.
Hope things get better soon, Jae-won. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
