Sandesh lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $350.

Bhavna, my sister, passed away on 24 August after a short illness. She was 68 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Bhavna 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 $350 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
