Farewell fund for Nadia: help Maria's family in Novosibirsk
Nadia passed away on 19 August; we're raising $1,400 for a respectful funeral in Novosibirsk.

Nadia, my grandmother, passed away on 19 August after a stroke. She was 90 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Nadia 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $960
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
