Polokwane
Andile, my father, passed away on 28 August after a short illness. He was 89 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 September. 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 Andile 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 $1,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,100 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $225 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Elmarie

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Polokwane

      Thank you. If you're in Polokwane I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

        Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

          You're not alone, Elmarie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Polokwane

            Stay strong, Elmarie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
