Saying goodbye to Habib - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Habib, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Habib, my father, passed away on 3 January after a stroke. He was 91 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 January.
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 Habib 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 $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $460
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $160
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nusrat.
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $460, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best, Nusrat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Nusrat. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tamale donated after I showed her your page
