Pankaj, my brother, passed away on 30 May after a stroke. He was 88 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 June. 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 Pankaj 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $450 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 Thanks for reading all this.

    Praying for you, Suresh. This could happen to any of us. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
