Farewell fund for James: help Salim's family in Mbarara
After the sudden passing of James, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

James, my husband, passed away on 25 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 78 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 June.
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 James 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 $450 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Funeral home services and casket: $200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $215
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Salim. This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Salim. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Brooklyn.
