Latha, my mother, passed away on 14 December after complications from pneumonia. She was 90 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 December. 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 Latha 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 $800 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 • Funeral home services and casket: $550 • Transport of the deceased: $50 Thank you so much. - Jagadish

  3. Update from Pune: the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

                    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Berlin.
