Jagni's grandfather passes away.

Jagni's grandfather died this morning. He died at home of cancer. The family could not afford to get medical attention for him. Apart from the family being devastated they are also very worried because they do not have the money to pay for the coffin. It is approx. $200 US to be able to pay for the basic coffin. If anyone would want to help them with even a little money towards this huge cost for them , it would be very gratefully received.
