Funeral costs for Manoj's grandmother, Ritu
Manoj lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $500.
🇮🇳 Siliguri, West Bengal, India301 views
Ritu, my grandmother, passed away on 28 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 60 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Ritu 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 $500 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
• Funeral home services and casket: $400
• Transport of the deceased: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

take care, Manoj. This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone, Manoj. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Varanasi.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Malang.
looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Mbale donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mbale
Stay strong, Manoj. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Siliguri!
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Wollongong
Thanks for sharing this, Manoj. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted.
shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning. Take care.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. Take care.
