Rosa, my mother, passed away on 10 June after a road accident. She was 79 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 June. 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 Rosa 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 $2,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,250 • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Giorgio.

      • Funeral home services and casket is $1,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

    • Take care. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings.

        Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Karachi.

          Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

          • sending love, Giorgio. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
