Idris, my grandfather, passed away on 7 May after a sudden heart attack. He was 49 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 $3,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 May. 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 Idris 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 $3,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $500 • Transport of the deceased: $280 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            Funeral home services and casket is $2,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

        • Best of luck, Rami. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

          • Thanks for sharing this, Rami. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

            • thinking of you and your family, Rami. Hope you get there.

              • Hang in there, Rami. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care

                • Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
