Vihaan, my uncle, passed away on 15 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 60 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 January. 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 Vihaan to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $2,600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,000 • Transport of the deceased: $390 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mahesh
