Nakuru
Kiptoo, my brother, passed away on 6 September after a stroke. He was 84 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 19 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 Kiptoo 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 Nakuru hospice. Where the $500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 • Transport of the deceased: $100 • Funeral home services and casket: $360 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Anyango

Updates from Anyango

  1. Quick update: $523 raised so far (105%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $513 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($263 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
