Vidya, my mother, passed away on 14 March after a stroke. She was 38 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Vidya 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 $450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $230 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $115 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 With deep gratitude, Naveen

    Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Jimma.

    • Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Gulu.

      • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning.

          • Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Chennai.
