Saad, my grandfather, passed away on 16 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 70 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September. 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 Saad 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $360 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 Glad we found this place. - Rukhsar

Updates from Rukhsar

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($285 in total) I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Rawalpindi: I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Update from Rawalpindi: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rukhsar?

      Thank you. If you're in Rawalpindi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Aarón N. Moreno

    Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Detroit!

    • Hesti Ayu Rahman

      rooting for you, Rukhsar. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
