Rashed, my uncle, passed away on 24 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 47 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Rashed 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 Cox's Bazar hospice. Where the $300 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $25 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210 • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
