Okello, my husband, passed away on 8 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 32 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 July.
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 Okello 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 $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95
• Transport of the deceased: $20
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
