Yasmin, my sister, passed away on 25 March after a road accident. She was 25 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 April.
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 Yasmin 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 $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $520
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Amir. Hope this works out for you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amir.
Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $520. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Sending good thoughts, Amir. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in León this morning
Thinking of you and your family, Amir. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Cairo
