Funeral costs for Kamau's grandfather, Juma
Juma passed away on 20 June; we're raising $500 for a respectful funeral in Entebbe.
🇺🇬 Central Region, Uganda869 views
Juma, my grandfather, passed away on 20 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 84 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 July.
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 Juma 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 $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $280
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $115
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
