Volkan, my grandfather, passed away on 21 October after a sudden heart attack. He was 51 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Volkan 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 the Gaziantep hospice.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $710
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200
• Transport of the deceased: $165
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Duygu. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Liverpool.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Gaziantep.
wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Gazipur
Sending love, Duygu. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
