Salim, my grandfather, passed away on 7 December after complications from pneumonia. He was 47 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Salim 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 $1,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $610 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $95 • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
