Farewell fund for Elmarie: help Nadia's family in Johannesburg
After the sudden passing of Elmarie, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa932 views
Elmarie, my wife, passed away on 10 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 53 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 August.
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 Elmarie 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 $1,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $740
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $380
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $135
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending love, Nadia. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Paris.
