Saying goodbye to Paresh - help with funeral expenses
Rutuja lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $500.
🇮🇳 Howrah, West Bengal, India687 views
Paresh, my grandfather, passed away on 2 April after a sudden heart attack. 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 April.
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 Paresh 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 the Howrah hospice.
Where the $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $380
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck, Rutuja. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Howrah.
this could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Santa Fe donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Entebbe donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Rutuja. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Negombo but we're thinking of you. Love from Negombo.
