Yogesh, my husband, passed away on 11 October after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 57 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 October. 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 Yogesh 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 $500 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Funeral home services and casket: $410 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Sangeetha

Updates from Sangeetha

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($170 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Vadodara: we've started the first stage. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!

    • Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Vadodara

        Thinking of you and your family, Sangeetha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Kasarani.

          • Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page.
