Hamisi, my uncle, passed away on 23 August after a short illness. He was 28 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Hamisi 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 Thank you so much. - Evans
