Halima, my sister, passed away on 25 July after a sudden heart attack. 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 August. 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 Halima 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $15 Thank you so much.
