Ghassan, my grandfather, passed away on 22 September after a short illness. He was 81 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Ghassan 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 $700 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Basma. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you. God bless.
