Kinondoni
Akello, my wife, passed away on 7 November after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 64 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 November. 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 Akello to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the Kinondoni hospice. Where the $500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Funeral home services and casket: $405 With deep gratitude, Victor
