Prasert, my father, passed away on 22 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 87 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Prasert 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $1,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $890 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310 If you're reading this, thank you. - Chalida

Updates from Chalida

  1. Update from Bangkok: the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. We're at 59% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $623 raised so far (50%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family.

    good luck. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Québec.

      I hope things turn around soon. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.

              You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Johannesburg.

                good luck, Chalida. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
