Help Thilina lay Lakshmi to rest with dignity in Dehiwala
Thilina lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $800.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka282 views
Lakshmi, my mother, passed away on 23 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 52 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 August.
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 Lakshmi 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 $800 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
• Funeral home services and casket: $470
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thilina!
good luck, Thilina. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Montréal
you're not alone, Thilina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Entebbe.
You're not alone, Thilina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
how is Thilina doing now?
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Badagry.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
you're not alone, Thilina. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page!
