Saying goodbye to Ilana - help with funeral expenses
Michal lost her grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,350.
🇮🇱 Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel2,705 views
Ilana, my grandmother, passed away on 18 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 69 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 $3,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Ilana 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 $3,350 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $240
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,700
• Transport of the deceased: $410
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Michal. Hope this works out for you.
how is Michal doing now?
Best of luck, Michal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Michal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Springfield
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tel Aviv!
Stay strong, Michal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Michal
Sure. The biggest one is memorial gathering for the family, $240. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
good luck, Michal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning.

praying for you, Michal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Michal. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Tel Aviv
thinking of you and your family, Michal. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
