Swapnil, my grandfather, passed away on 19 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 33 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Swapnil 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 $650 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Funeral home services and casket: $420 • Transport of the deceased: $10 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Urvashi

Updates from Urvashi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($165). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket.

  • hope things get better soon, Urvashi. Shared it with a few friends.

    • gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Bronx.

      • Good luck, Urvashi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

        • Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
