Aarti, my mother, passed away on 28 November after complications from pneumonia. She was 72 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 December.
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 Aarti to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $570
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thanks for sharing this, Nirali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Jerusalem.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Dodoma.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Aberdeen so I could bring a meal.
wishing you peace, Nirali. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Lviv so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Nirali. Hope you get there.
