Our hearts are broken as we share the tragic loss of Leila Bouthera (wife of Ikharbine), a loving mother of four and a kind soul who touched everyone she met.

Leila was involved in a severe vehicle accident in Dubai, where she spent several days in a coma fighting for her life. Despite the best efforts of the medical team caring for her, she sadly passed away.

Her family now faces unimaginable pain and overwhelming financial burdens. Because the accident happened abroad, the costs to bring her home and lay her to rest are extremely high. We are raising funds to help with:

What the funds will cover

• Transporting Lila’s body from Dubai to Michigan

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Supporting her four children and grieving family

• Other urgent costs related to this unexpected tragedy

The cost of repatriation alone is estimated at $15,000, and funeral expenses at $5,000. Any support — no matter the amount — will help lift a heavy burden from her family during this heartbreaking time.

Lila was known for her kindness, generosity, and warm heart. She helped everyone around her and was a dedicated mother who did everything for her children. Now, her family needs the community’s support more than ever.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser. Your help means more than words can express.

Thank you for standing with Lila’s family during this devastating moment.
