Rashid, my husband, passed away on 13 August after a short illness. He was 83 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 $3,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Rashid 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 $3,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $930 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Qasim
