Kiên, my father, passed away on 19 June after a road accident. He was 38 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $5,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 July. 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 Kiên to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $5,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800 • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 Thank you so much.

Updates from Đức

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,517 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Sydney: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 29% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
