Anyango, my wife, passed away on 27 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 92 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Anyango 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $370
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
With deep gratitude,
Akoth

is there anything that isn't money that would help Akoth?
Thank you. If you're in Kampala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you and your family, Akoth. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Rooting for you, Akoth. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
