Salim, my uncle, passed away on 11 September after a short illness. He was 42 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 19 September. 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 Salim 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 local food bank. Where the $600 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 • Funeral home services and casket: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 Thank you for reading my story.
