Saying goodbye to Maryam - help with funeral expenses
Maryam passed away on 4 August; we're raising $300 for a respectful funeral in Shubra.

Maryam, my grandmother, passed away on 4 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 62 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 $300 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 Maryam 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 the Shubra hospice.
Where the $300 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200
• Transport of the deceased: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
