Help Sharmila lay Sumaiya to rest with dignity in Mumbai
Sharmila lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $550.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India790 views
Sumaiya, my wife, passed away on 17 February after a short illness. She was 73 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 6 March.
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 Sumaiya 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 $550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $220
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Thank you for reading my story.
