Alka, my wife, passed away on 25 August after a stroke. She was 66 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 September. 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 Alka 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $490 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 With deep gratitude, Chhaya

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chhaya.

    • Chhaya T. JoshiOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $490. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

  • hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

    • Best of luck, Chhaya. Hope this works out for you.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Chhaya?

        • Chhaya T. JoshiOwnerAnswer

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about funeral home services and casket, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you.

        • Sending good thoughts, Chhaya. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Tlaquepaque but we're thinking of you.

          • Hang in there, Chhaya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless!

            • Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
