Madhu, my mother, passed away on 4 November after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 37 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 November.
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 Madhu 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 the Kolkata hospice.
Where the $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $320
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($138 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Kunal. Shared this with my family. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you, Kunal. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 36 people at work. Thinking of Kolkata.
