Faisal, my uncle, passed away on 7 August after a road accident. He was 26 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 August. 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 Faisal 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 $1,100 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $175 • Transport of the deceased: $260 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $665 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Samira

  1. Update from Riyadh: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 70% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($490). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Quick update: $195 raised so far (18%). I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
