Thika
Evans, my father, passed away on 13 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 73 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Evans 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 the Thika hospice. Where the $550 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 • Funeral home services and casket: $280 Thank you so much. - Caroline
