Los Angeles
Anand, my father, passed away on 13 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 31 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 $5,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Anand 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 $5,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $260 • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 Thanks for being kind about this.

                It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Los Angeles.
