With COVID-19 safety precautions in place, the fragile economy of the East Java cemetery community is beginning to suffer. Motorbike taxi service, grave maintenance, and other respectable opportunities for income have decreased by 50%. Daily necessities are becoming a struggle for some families to afford.

CF cemetery staff have carefully crafted a relief strategy to meet the immediate needs of families while encouraging individual resourcefulness and dignity. With your help, widows and single mothers with several children will receive a supply package containing milk, rice, cooking oil and other basic necessities to last one month. Mothers of newborns will also receive a month’s worth of baby formula. In addition, our staff is continuing daily community check-ins assessing other needs on a case by case basis.
