Funeral costs for Jewel's mother, Sharmila
Jewel lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $550.

Sharmila, my mother, passed away on 23 September after a stroke. She was 81 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Sharmila 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 $550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $280
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Jewel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Khulna: I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. We're at 46% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
