Saying goodbye to Indika - help with funeral expenses
Indika passed away on 21 June; we're raising $700 for a respectful funeral in Dehiwala.

Indika, my grandfather, passed away on 21 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 22 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 5 July.
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 Indika 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:
• Funeral home services and casket: $470
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $100
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
