Shafiq, my husband, passed away on 4 April after a road accident. He was 64 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 April. 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 Shafiq to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $490 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 • Transport of the deceased: $25 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Lipi

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($587 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
