Cairo
Abdullah, my grandfather, passed away on 24 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 90 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Abdullah 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 the Cairo hospice. Where the $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $330 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $150 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Thanks for reading all this.
