🇵🇰 Pakistan1,174 views
Waqas, my brother, passed away on 14 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 81 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 July.
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 Waqas to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $330
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

take care. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Lahore.
Thinking of you, Shazia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted
Good luck, Shazia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore.
So sorry you're going through this, Shazia. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together!
Sending love. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Epe
Praying for you, Shazia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
wishing you the best, Shazia. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
