Farewell fund for Lokesh: help Nandini's family in Jabalpur
After the sudden passing of Lokesh, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇮🇳 Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India1,690 views
Lokesh, my uncle, passed away on 9 February after a short illness. He was 42 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 February.
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 Lokesh 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 $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $270
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $170
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Nandini
Good news. Because of your gifts ($445 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Jabalpur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 52% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
21% there. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Nandini. Your post was clear and honest.
keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lagos
shared it with a few friends. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Cardiff.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jabalpur.
Best of luck, Nandini. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Jabalpur.
shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
