Kouki, my brother, passed away on 13 September after a stroke. He was 53 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Kouki 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 $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Transport of the deceased: $400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 Thanks for reading all this.

      Take care, Asuka. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Dehiwala but we're thinking of you.
