Roberto, my brother, passed away on 31 May after a road accident. He was 58 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 June. 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 Roberto 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 $4,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Transport of the deceased: $165 • Memorial gathering for the family: $235 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Sending love, Aldo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Stellenbosch.

      You're not alone, Aldo. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

      • Frank P. Reid

        Hope it all works out, Aldo. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Jimma so I could bring a meal. All the best

              Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Santos.

                So sorry you're going through this, Aldo. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
