Shanice, my mother, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. She was 28 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 $850 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 Shanice 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 $850 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320
• Funeral home services and casket: $470

Praying for you, Jabu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jabu.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. memorial gathering for the family comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
praying for you, Jabu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Aurora
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jabu?
Thank you. If you're in Richards Bay I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon, Jabu. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
how is Jabu doing now?
Take care, Jabu. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Pietermaritzburg
Wishing you peace, Jabu. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Khon Kaen this morning. Thinking of Richards Bay.
Sending strength, Jabu. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Richards Bay
Stay strong, Jabu. This could happen to any of us.
