Noman, my brother, passed away on 21 August after complications from pneumonia. 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 $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 Noman 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 the Mumbai hospice. Where the $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $330 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195 • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Boston this morning. Greetings from Boston

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
