Saying goodbye to Kreesan - help with funeral expenses
Vikash lost his husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,000.

Kreesan, my husband, passed away on 13 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 79 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 August.
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 Kreesan 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 $1,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $430
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Diego.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page
hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from La Plata.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone, Vikash. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

Stay strong, Vikash. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

Stay strong, Vikash. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you peace, Vikash. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Christchurch donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Quezon City.
Rooting for you, Vikash. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
