Farewell fund for Dagmawit: help Teklu's family in Adama
Teklu lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $600.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia1,227 views
Dagmawit, my sister, passed away on 7 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 48 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 June.
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 Dagmawit to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $80
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Teklu?
Thank you. If you're in Adama I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Keep going, Teklu. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Adama
