Pankaj, my uncle, passed away on 10 November after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 28 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 November.
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 Pankaj 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $240
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $970
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,040
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Nikhil. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours
Sending love, Nikhil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Soweto this morning. All the best.
Best of luck, Nikhil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
