Rakib, my grandfather, passed away on 23 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 86 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Rakib 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 $200 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Tanvir
Update from Savar: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 75% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 50% thanks to 3 of you. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page
Best of luck, Tanvir. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
