Khalid, my brother, passed away on 8 March after complications from pneumonia. He was 25 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 $2,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 March. 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 Khalid 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 $2,750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Transport of the deceased: $270 • Memorial gathering for the family: $130 Glad we found this place.
