Selim, my brother, passed away on 27 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 69 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Selim 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 $1,050 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Funeral home services and casket: $905 If you're reading this, thank you. - Alp
