Farhana, my sister, passed away on 21 September after a road accident. She was 26 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Farhana 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 $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $660 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Transport of the deceased: $25 • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 Thank you so much. - Rafiq

Updates from Rafiq

  1. Update from Mumbai: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 25% funded and I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($471). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family.
