Farewell fund for Alok: help Deepak's family in Howrah
Deepak lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $600.
🇮🇳 Howrah, West Bengal, India763 views
Alok, my uncle, passed away on 14 November after a short illness. He was 71 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 November.
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 Alok 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 the Howrah hospice.
Where the $600 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
• Funeral home services and casket: $515

Updates from Deepak
Good news. Because of your gifts ($148 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
