Good news. Because of your gifts ($192 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 37% thanks to 7 of you. the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. More news soon.
Update from Yogyakarta: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
