Tragically, my mother-in-law, Ms. Kim, passed away unexpectedly at our family home on Sunday. We were overcome with an indescribable sense of shock and grief as we tried to come to terms with her unexpected departure. The impermanence of life and the significance of cherishing the moments we have with loved ones while they are here are brought home to us by this overwhelming sadness.
The Heart-Wrenching Truth:
Unanticipated Costs Another devastating truth hits us as we ride out the storm of loss: Ms. Kim did not have life insurance. The family is now faced with the difficult financial burden of funeral expenses following her unexpected passing. In light of all the unknowns in life, it’s a sobering reminder of how important it is to be financially prepared.
The GoFundMe Campaign Needs Your Help!
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family out financially while they go through this tough time. We are humbly attempting to alleviate the unexpectedly high funeral expenses with an initial goal of $5,000. At this point in time, we are thankful to have raised nearly $4,000, which is a result of the incredible support from people we don’t even know. Witnessing such unity in times of despair brings incalculable comfort.

It gives us hope that there is a group of people out there who are willing to help each other out when the going gets tough.
