Thulani, my husband, passed away on 19 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 41 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Thulani 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 $700 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $480
• Transport of the deceased: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Los Angeles.
You're not alone, Mpho. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Leeds.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Soweto.
