Farewell fund for Aadhya: help Dinesh's family in Patna
Aadhya passed away on 2 January; we're raising $750 for a respectful funeral in Patna.
🇮🇳 Bihar, India748 views
Aadhya, my grandmother, passed away on 2 January after a short illness. She was 25 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 January.
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 Aadhya 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 $750 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($168 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dinesh
Memorial gathering for the family is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
