Tarun, my husband, passed away on 15 September after a stroke. He was 91 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 $5,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Tarun to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $5,650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Umesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Bakersfield
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thanks for sharing this, Umesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Geelong.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
