Yashodha, my sister, passed away on 15 May after a road accident. She was 43 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 May.
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 Yashodha 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 $550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $330
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Harsha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal. Take care!
this could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Zaria.
Praying for you, Harsha. 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. All the best.
