Shruthi, my grandmother, passed away on 31 March after complications from pneumonia. She was 33 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 April.
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 Shruthi 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 $350 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Funeral home services and casket: $260
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
Thank you so much.

Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($120). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mendoza

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

Stay strong, Vijay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal.
