Joseph, my uncle, passed away on 21 June after a road accident. He was 77 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Joseph 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $680 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 With deep gratitude, Halima

Updates from Halima

  1. Small update. $740 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($567 in total) the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($337 in total) I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
