Rose, my sister, passed away on 19 April after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 38 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 April. 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 Rose 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 $200 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $135 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mussa

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mukono

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about cemetery plot and burial fees, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.

  • Good luck, Mussa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
