Mazen, my brother, passed away on 14 December after a road accident. He was 79 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 $2,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 December. 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 Mazen 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 $2,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $110 Thank you for reading my story. - Mona

                Good luck, Mona. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
