Salma, my wife, passed away on 29 April after a road accident. She was 58 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 May. 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 Salma 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 $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $260 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Farah
