Farewell fund for Teklu: help Kaleb's family in Jimma
Kaleb lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $500.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia673 views
Teklu, my grandfather, passed away on 7 May after a short illness. He was 26 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 May.
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 Teklu 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 Jimma hospice.
Where the $500 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Memorial gathering for the family: $20
• Funeral home services and casket: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Bang Khen
Rooting for you, Kaleb. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Mandeville.
