Help Naveen lay Vignesh to rest with dignity in Nagpur
Naveen lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $650.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India1,538 views
Vignesh, my uncle, passed away on 15 May after a stroke. 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Vignesh 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 a local food bank.
Where the $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
• Transport of the deceased: $90
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
