Shakil, my grandfather, passed away on 4 September after a stroke. He was 66 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Shakil 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 the Dhaka hospice.
Where the $400 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $110
• Funeral home services and casket: $250
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40

Thinking of you, Sabbir. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Manila.
