Pavithra, my sister, passed away on 21 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 91 years old. She 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 9 October. 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 Pavithra 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 Kolkata hospice. Where the $550 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 • Funeral home services and casket: $450 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Arun
