Afshan, my wife, passed away on 23 August after a short illness. She was 32 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Afshan 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 Thanks for being kind about this. - Zainab
