Pavel, my father, passed away on 19 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 67 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 February. 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 Pavel 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $470 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 If you're reading this, thank you. - Alamin

Updates from Alamin

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($498 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Kolkata: the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. We're at 43% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
