Paying for Assma's Funeral Expenses & More

Donation protected
On 14 January, 2020,  Sacramento Police Department, officers  found the lifeless body of 32 year old Asmaa Ashooqullah in 6700 block of Calvine Road who had been stabbed to death.

Hours later, in Roseville, CA, police say the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Asghar Ehsan, Asmaa's husband, tried to run over an officer. He was eventually arrested after crashing into a city bus.

Asmaa' was the mother of two children, 9-year-old girl, and a 6-month-old boy who are temporarily cared for in a neighbor's home.

Asmaa does not have immediate family members, and her family in Afghanistan are very poor, who cannot afford to pay for the funeral expenses of their daughter. 

My name is Khyber Hotak, Asmaa's cousin,  and I am the closest relative Asmaa had.  I am flying to Sacramento on Monday to get more information about the case, as police have still been largely tight-lipped. I will keep you all posted about any details I get about the case. 

Your donations will be used to pay for the transportation of the body and other related expenses and I will personally disperse the remaining funds to the parents of Asmaa in Afghanistan for their life expenses.

I will withdraw the amounts personally, and pay for the expenses as soon as we meet the goal.

I urge you all to donate any amount you can  to this cause, and share this campaign on your personal profiles on social media and share with family and friends. 
Thank you very much in advance.
