Help Samir lay Nada to rest with dignity in Cairo
Nada passed away on 16 March; we're raising $400 for a respectful funeral in Cairo.

Nada, my mother, passed away on 16 March after a short illness. She was 67 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Nada 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 $400 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
• Funeral home services and casket: $300
• Transport of the deceased: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

We're at 14% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. More news soon.
Small update. $50 so far, I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. - Samir

is there anything that isn't money that would help Samir?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about memorial gathering for the family, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Samir. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
