Shilpa, my sister, passed away on 19 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 83 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Shilpa 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 $650 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Funeral home services and casket: $565 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
