Howrah
Hitesh, my brother, passed away on 20 August after a short illness. He was 62 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 28 August. 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 Hitesh 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 $600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Funeral home services and casket: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Yogita

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 37% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($171 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Howrah: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
