Hello everyone, I started this fundraiser for Chu Nghia’s funeral. Unfortunately, he passed away yesterday, June 6, 2025, due to a heart attack. Currently, we are arranging for his funeral because his family is not taking care of the service. We are the closest to family that he had; therefore, I have taken on the responsibility as his niece to take care of arranging everything. Sadly, his passing was very unexpected; therefore, we don’t have the funds for his service. We would greatly appreciate any little help you all can offer.
A short backstory for anyone that doesn’t know him or remember him. He had been friends with my mom (Dung Van) for over 15 years and had been a part of our family for as long as I can remember. His parents and brother passed away years ago, and we can’t get in touch with his sister. He had his quirks, but overall, he was a great person who treated my family as his own. He had been traveling with my mom to work for years, and recently they had moved in with me. Planning for retirement, unfortunately, the time for him to go was sooner than we expected. We plan on having a funeral service for him, cremation, then placing him in the temple where his passed family members rest since their religion is Buddhism.
We will be using the fund for the following:
Funeral service/cremation: $5975+ (cost depending on embalming needed)
Flowers: $200+
Urn: $100+
Temple placement: $500+
The rest of the money will be a donation for the temple that he will be placed at for the service that they will hold for him, and for the Monk that will be coming out for his service.
