Dhaka
Shima, my mother, passed away on 9 September after a road accident. She was 85 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 September. 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 Shima 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 $450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $230 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 Every share and every dollar helps. - Runa

Updates from Runa

  1. Update from Dhaka: the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. We're at 48% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
