Themba, my uncle, passed away on 9 June after a stroke. He was 88 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 June. 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 Themba 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 $1,450 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $920 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $55 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $115 Thanks for reading all this.
