Saying goodbye to Dhruv - help with funeral expenses
Vaishali lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $350.

Dhruv, my grandfather, passed away on 3 September after a short illness. He was 85 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Dhruv 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 $350 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Vaishali?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport of the deceased, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
take care. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 26 people at work. Greetings from Kediri.
