Jimma
Getachew, my brother, passed away on 9 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 58 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 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 Getachew 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $600 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $320 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $55 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
