Saying goodbye to Tuğba - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Tuğba, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Tuğba, my sister, passed away on 20 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 56 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 September.
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 Tuğba 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 $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $630
• Memorial gathering for the family: $105
• Transport of the deceased: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Thinking of you and your family, Merve. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Makassar so I could bring a meal.
