Need your generous support for Nandini funeral service, repatriation and family support

This page is created in support of Nandini, lovingly known as Sree among her family and friends, and her young family.

A mother of 10 year old daughter Avanthika and a beloved wife, Nandini passed away suddenly in the early hours of the morning on 22nd November 2022. This was completely unexpected and the family is shocked with this tragic news. The distraught family is hoping to repatriate Nandini back to India to perform the last rites. We are reaching out to the wider community to support the family during this hard time. Your donation would be used to assist in paying for the funeral expenses and for the body to be flown to India to attend the religious last rites and to support Sree's husband Vignesh and daughter Avanthika through this unexpected and difficult period.

We would be most grateful for any contribution that you are able to make. Please also share this request widely.

Funds will go towards in the following priority:

• funeral service and repatriation - $17000

• family flights for father, daughter, grand father - $6000

• Rent and amenities while away in India - $6000

TOTAL - $29 000

Thank you.
