Riyadh
Fadi, my father, passed away on 1 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 46 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 May. 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 Fadi 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 the Riyadh hospice. Where the $2,600 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $240 • Memorial gathering for the family: $220 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,140 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rami

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($475 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($177). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled.
