Marcos, my grandfather, passed away on 1 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 62 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 August. 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 Marcos 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 local food bank. Where the $1,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540 • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Naivasha so I could bring a meal. All the best!
