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.
