Karim, my uncle, passed away on 9 October after complications from pneumonia. He was 26 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 October. 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 Karim 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 $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $340 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
