Yasir, my husband, passed away on 17 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 45 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Yasir 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 $1,150 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $640 • Transport of the deceased: $330 Thank you for reading my story. - Ziad

Updates from Ziad

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($484 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Mecca: we've started the first stage. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
