The late Hasson King passed away unexpectedly on June 12, 2024, due to severe complications from pneumonia. His daughter, Raquel King, and her sister are facing the difficult task of arranging his funeral with limited resources. Hasson’s final wish was to have a traditional Muslim burial, which his family is striving to fulfill.
Raquel King has created a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the burial. The goal is to gather $4,000 to cover transportation, burial, religious ceremonies, and any unexpected expenses. As of now, $20 has been raised by Raynell Avery, who became the first donor just minutes after the campaign started.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Raquel King expressed her deep sorrow and asked for support: "I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Hasson King, passed away unexpectedly on June 12, 2024, due to severe complications from pneumonia. One of his final wishes was to have a traditional Muslim burial. With limited resources and support, my sister and I are seeking help to fulfill his wish. We would be incredibly grateful for any contributions or shares of our campaign. Your support means the world to us during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity."
The community has responded with an outpouring of condolences and support. Jasmine Amara asked if she could share the link to the fundraiser, to which Raquel gratefully agreed. Shantel Sloan-El, Desiree De La Cruz, Miah Brooklyn McLean, Monique Hurt, Aaliyah Robinson, and Hope Flores Meredith all expressed their sympathy and support, reflecting the collective grief and solidarity.
Raquel and her sister hope to honor their father’s wishes despite the financial challenges. The community’s support is crucial in this time of need, and every contribution brings them closer to fulfilling Hasson King’s final wish.
