Farewell fund for Upendo: help Mercy's family in Embakasi
Mercy lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $850.

Upendo, my wife, passed away on 27 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 63 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 10 September.
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 Upendo 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 Embakasi hospice.
Where the $850 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Funeral home services and casket: $540
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Mercy. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 23 people at work. Blessings
