Amani, my wife, passed away on 13 January after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 27 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 January.
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 Amani 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $800 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140
• Funeral home services and casket: $580
• Transport of the deceased: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
