Aarav, my father, passed away on 25 February after a sudden heart attack. He was 49 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Aarav 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 $700 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Funeral home services and casket: $460 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Suresh

  1. Small update. $465 so far, I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($335 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($200). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
