Ishita, my sister, passed away on 27 March after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 42 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 $3,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 April. 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 Ishita 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 $3,900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $820 • Transport of the deceased: $340 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 Thanks for reading all this.

        Thank you. If you're in Burnaby I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal. All the best

      • So sorry you're going through this. 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

        • Hope it all works out, Yash. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Burnaby.

          • shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Burnaby.

            • Hope it all works out, Yash. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless

              • Best of luck, Yash. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Wellington this morning. All the best

                • Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
