Nancy passed away on 18 September; we're raising $600 for a respectful funeral in Entebbe.

Nancy, my sister, passed away on 18 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 42 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 28 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 Nancy 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 local food bank.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180
• Transport of the deceased: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Wekesa doing now?
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wekesa.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
rooting for you, Wekesa. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Sydney.
Sending good thoughts, Wekesa. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Central Region. I'll ask around and let you know
