Youn Ong Funeral Fundraiser

Hello, my name is Molly. I am fundraising for the funeral expenses for my mother, Youn Ong. She passed away unexpectedly and quite suddenly on November 10th due to complications from a triple bypass and pneumonia. My mother was a refugee from Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge. Adapting to a new life in the United States as a young adult was difficult for her, but she still learned English and was able to raise a family. We are of a low socioeconomic background; however, my mother never lost hope for us. She raised us to take pride in our education, uphold Buddhist values, and strived to give us a better life than she did. I am the only immediate family member she has left, and it has been difficult trying to raise funds for her funeral costs on my own. I understand everyone is struggling during these difficult times; however, if you can find it within your heart to help me lay my mom to rest, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a breakdown of the funeral expenses:

Mortuary Costs: 7,000

Flowers: 1,100

Buddhist Ceremonies: 1,425

Total: 9.525 (I am asking for 10,000 to cover any unexpected costs and the cut that GoFundMe will take from this fundraiser.)
