Help Chitra lay Venkatesh to rest with dignity in Mumbai

After the sudden passing of Venkatesh, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Venkatesh, my uncle, passed away on 2 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 42 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Venkatesh 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 $300 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $75 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Chitra

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 64% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($56 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 14% there. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Thank you.

    Wishing you the best, Chitra. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
