Saying goodbye to Aravind - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Aravind, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Aravind, my uncle, passed away on 25 September after a short illness. He was 66 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Aravind 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 $550 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195
• Funeral home services and casket: $275
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Ganesh. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Chattanooga so I could bring a meal.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ganesh?
Thank you. If you're in Amritsar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
shared this with my family. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Amritsar
Sending love, Ganesh. Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Saket
Hope it all works out, Ganesh. Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
