Sumaiya, my wife, passed away on 17 February after a short illness. She was 73 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 March. 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 Sumaiya 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 $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $220 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 Thank you for reading my story.
