Khalid, my father, passed away on 25 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 84 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 August.
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 Khalid 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 $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $380
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
I hope life is good to you.

We're at 73% thanks to 7 of you. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($125 in total) the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mehwish.
Thinking of you, Mehwish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Karachi
Thinking of you, Mehwish. Gave what I could, wish it was more
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Zagazig donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Mehwish. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
