Saying goodbye to Pranav - help with funeral expenses

Pranav, my brother, passed away on 28 August after a short illness. He was 91 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Pranav 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 local food bank. Where the $650 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 • Funeral home services and casket: $400 Thank you for reading my story. - Tanvi
