Mthatha
Hendrik, my grandfather, passed away on 31 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 79 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 11 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 Hendrik 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 $550 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $410 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.
