Hadi, my grandfather, passed away on 28 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 79 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Hadi 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 $2,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $310 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 Thanks for being kind about this. - Karim

Updates from Karim

  1. Small update. $475 so far, I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Update from Paris: we've started the first stage. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
