Farewell fund for Omondi: help Margaret's family in Eldoret
Margaret lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $650.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya767 views
Omondi, my grandfather, passed away on 19 September after a stroke. He was 91 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 5 October.
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 Omondi 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 Eldoret hospice.
Where the $650 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310
• Funeral home services and casket: $250
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Eldoret
Thank you. If you're in Eldoret I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace, Margaret. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Cầu Giấy but we're thinking of you. All the best!
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Eldoret.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Eldoret.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Margaret. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Rajkot.
Sending good thoughts, Margaret. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning.
Rooting for you, Margaret. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
