Farewell fund for Henok: help Tesfaye's family in Addis Ababa
Tesfaye lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $500.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia848 views
Henok, my grandfather, passed away on 20 January after a sudden heart attack. He was 83 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 January.
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 Henok 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 $500 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
• Funeral home services and casket: $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Tesfaye. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Laredo.
how is Tesfaye doing now?
you're not alone, Tesfaye. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going, Tesfaye. Hope you get there
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kasarani
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tesfaye.
Cemetery plot and burial fees is $210 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

Rooting for you, Tesfaye. Hope you get there. God bless.
Sending strength, Tesfaye. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Riverside.
Stay strong, Tesfaye. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Los Angeles!
thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best, Tesfaye. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. All the best
