Gizem, my sister, passed away on 5 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 48 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 February. 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 Gizem 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 local food bank. Where the $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $570 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360 • Transport of the deceased: $120 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 If you're reading this, thank you.
