Funeral costs for Berhanu's sister, Senait
Berhanu lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $300.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,523 views
Senait, my sister, passed away on 9 October after complications from pneumonia. She was 57 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Senait 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 Addis Ababa hospice.
Where the $300 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230
• Transport of the deceased: $40
I hope life is good to you.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Berhanu
Good luck, Berhanu. Shared this with my family. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Epe.
Wishing you the best, Berhanu. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
praying for you, Berhanu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Hang in there, Berhanu. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Berhanu?
hope it all works out, Berhanu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. All the best
How is Berhanu doing now?
stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Mumbai
Looking forward to the next update. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Ekurhuleni this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Berhanu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
so sorry you're going through this, Berhanu. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Keep going, Berhanu. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
