Mohammad lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $450.

Salma, my mother, passed away on 19 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 80 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Salma 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 local food bank.
Where the $450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $230
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Thank you so much.
