Indira, my mother, passed away on 28 June after a road accident. She was 50 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 July.
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 Indira 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 the Amritsar hospice.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $480
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155
• Transport of the deceased: $25
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
sending good thoughts, Venkat. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Venkat. Shared it with a few friends.
