Divya, my sister, passed away on 25 September after a road accident. She was 56 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 October. 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 Divya 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 $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gayathri
