Chathurika, my mother, passed away on 24 May after a sudden heart attack. She was 64 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 11 June.
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 Chathurika 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 $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Nimal doing now?
Thinking of you, Nimal. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nimal?
Thank you. If you're in Colombo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Colombo
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Jaffna so I could bring a meal.
