Atim lost her grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,050.

Anyango, my grandmother, passed away on 11 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 77 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 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 Anyango 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 $1,050 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $690
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $315
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($126 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you, Atim. 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
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Atim
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($690) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Rooting for you, Atim. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Mérida.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Thrissur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
How is Atim doing now?
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Brampton!

I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
