Lucy, my wife, passed away on 5 September after a short illness. She was 26 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Lucy 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 $300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $230
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Veracruz but we're thinking of you. Take care.
You're not alone, Simiyu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Onitsha donated after I showed her your page
