Sombat, my husband, passed away on 23 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 68 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 $450 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 Sombat 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 $450 goes: โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $130 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Hope it all works out, Darunee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

    • How is Darunee doing now?

      • You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done

        • take care, Darunee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Comilla this morning. Blessings

          • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
