Farewell fund for Fatuma: help Otieno's family in Embakasi
After the sudden passing of Fatuma, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,935 views
Fatuma, my mother, passed away on 18 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 92 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 February.
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 Fatuma 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 local food bank.
Where the $850 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
• Funeral home services and casket: $580
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Otieno. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kathmandu!
