Irfan, my father, passed away on 7 July after a road accident. He was 33 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 July.
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 Irfan to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $430
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Gangnam.
Sending strength, Maryam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Gujranwala.
