Ella, my wife, passed away on 2 March after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 79 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 March.
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 Ella 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 $1,600 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Vadodara.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Hubballi.
