Help Sawsan lay Sawsan to rest with dignity in Saint-Denis
Sawsan lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,800.
🇫🇷 Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France3,240 views
Sawsan, my wife, passed away on 3 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 79 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 $4,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 September.
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 Sawsan to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250
• Transport of the deceased: $125
• Memorial gathering for the family: $325
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Take care, Sawsan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong, Sawsan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 10 people at work. Blessings.
keep going, Sawsan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bonny
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Shinjuku donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Antonio.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
