Saying goodbye to Yiğit - help with funeral expenses

Yiğit, my husband, passed away on 8 September after a road accident. He was 62 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 25 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 Yiğit 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $520 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $370 • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Memorial gathering for the family: $105 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - İsmail

Updates from İsmail

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($776 in total) the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Çankaya: we've started the first stage. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Thinking of you and your family, İsmail. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kyiv.
