Sakshi, my grandmother, passed away on 3 June after a sudden heart attack. She was 39 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 June. 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 Sakshi 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $520 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $35 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $50 With deep gratitude, Pratik
