Nikhil, my father, passed away on 20 September after a road accident. He was 55 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Nikhil 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 $700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 • Funeral home services and casket: $580 • Transport of the deceased: $75 I hope life is good to you. - Tanvi
