Xin, my mother, passed away on 12 February after a stroke. She was 73 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 February.
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 Xin 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 $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $390
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this, Min. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Granada.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Min?
Thank you. If you're in Hamilton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Take care, Min. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Hamilton.
Hope it all works out, Min. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Likoni but we're thinking of you. Love from Likoni
