Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Zahra Lfakir. Zahra was a beacon of light, love, and kindness, touching the lives of everyone she met.

In accordance with her wishes and our cultural traditions, we aim to bring Zahra back to Morocco to be laid to rest among her ancestors. The costs associated with international transportation, funeral services, and related expenses are substantial and beyond our current means.

We humbly seek your support to help us honor Zahra’s memory and fulfill her final wish. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to bringing her home.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and for keeping Zahra and our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

الأصدقاء الأعزاء، أفراد العائلة، والداعمون الكرام،

ببالغ الحزن والأسى نعلن عن وفاة زهرة الفقير والتي كانت واحدة من قدماء الجالية المغربية في منطقة بلتيمور-واشنطن الكبرى. لقد كانت زهرة عنوانا للمحبة واللطف، واسعدت كل من عرفها.

وفقًا لرغبتها وتقاليد عائلتها، نسعى لإعادة زهرة إلى المغرب لتُوارى الثرى بجانب أجدادها. التكاليف المرتبطة بنقل الجثمان دوليًا، ومراسم الدفن، والنفقات الأخرى المرتبطة بذلك، باهظة الثمن وتتجاوز إمكانياتنا الحالية.

نتوجه إليكم بنداء إنساني لدعمنا في تكريم ذكرى زهرة وتحقيق رغبتها الأخيرة. كل مساهمة، مهما كانت صغيرة، تقربنا خطوة من إعادتِها إلى وطنها.إن الله لا يضيع اجر المحسنين.

نشكركم على تعاطفكم وكرمكم، في هذا الوقت العصيب و ندعوا لها جميعا بالمغفرة و الرحمه.
