Pandu, my father, passed away on 20 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 88 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 July. 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 Pandu 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 the Jakarta hospice. Where the $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $380 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rina

Updates from Rina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($389 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $52 raised so far (8%). I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Rina
