🇮🇳 India945 views
Rony, my father, passed away on 6 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 55 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 September.
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 Rony 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 $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $300
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Minneapolis
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Wishing you peace, Jewel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Good luck, Jewel. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you, Jewel. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
