Saying goodbye to Tariq - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Tariq, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Tariq, my grandfather, passed away on 13 June after a short illness. He was 75 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 $2,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 June.
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 Tariq 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 $2,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $190
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $760
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Souad?
Thank you. If you're in Jeddah I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Souad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Jeddah!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Souad.
Funeral home services and casket is $1,800 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you, Souad. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
