Wasantha, my grandfather, passed away on 22 March after a short illness. He was 44 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Wasantha 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 $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Madushan?
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Dar es Salaam
Take care, Madushan. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Ballarat so I could bring a meal.
