Rohini
Vipul, my husband, passed away on 9 August after a short illness. He was 89 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 21 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 Vipul 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: $440 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Riddhi

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 59% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($300 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $215 raised so far (29%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

          Hope things get better soon, Riddhi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Rohini.
