Samir, my father, passed away on 14 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 36 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 $2,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 June. 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 Samir 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 local food bank. Where the $2,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $380 • Transport of the deceased: $100 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Thinking of you, Hussein. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Madina so I could bring a meal.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Hussein. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

      • Keep going, Hussein. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mohammedia so I could bring a meal. Blessings

        • Sending good thoughts, Hussein. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Thika.

          • Good luck, Hussein. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
