Funeral costs for Samir's sister, Jamila

Jamila, my sister, passed away on 23 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 72 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $2,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 October. 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 Jamila 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 $2,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,300 • Memorial gathering for the family: $155 • Transport of the deceased: $395 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
