Mercy, my sister, passed away on 23 July after a sudden heart attack. She was 29 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 August.
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 Mercy 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 the Jinja hospice.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $410
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Patna but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Patna.
