Help Yamuna lay Keerthana to rest with dignity in Mumbai
Keerthana passed away on 17 September; we're raising $600 for a respectful funeral in Mumbai.

Keerthana, my sister, passed away on 17 September after a road accident. She was 28 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 September.
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 Keerthana 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 $600 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
• Funeral home services and casket: $270
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $285
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
