Farewell fund for Zola: help Tracey's family in Bloemfontein
Tracey lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,100.
🇿🇦 Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa728 views
Zola, my grandfather, passed away on 17 May after a stroke. He was 35 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Zola 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 $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $430
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Memorial gathering for the family: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.
