Lokesh, my brother, passed away on 21 August after a road accident. He was 44 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Lokesh 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 $500 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $430 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $25 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • How is Harini doing now?

    • Thinking of you, Harini. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mumbai

        Has the funeral home quote been checked by the HelpBLESS team?

        • Harini E. SastryOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

          Yes, I have it and I've sent it to the moderators. I'll also put a copy up in the updates with my details hidden. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • How long do you have before October?

          • Harini E. SastryOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

            It's firm, October. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. Let me know if you want more detail.

        • hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care

          • Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings

            • Hang in there, Harini. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from San Jose.
