Mukasa, my brother, passed away on 20 August after a short illness. He was 52 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Mukasa 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 $400 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Mussa

  1. Update from Eldoret: I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. We're at 65% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled.

    Keep going, Mussa. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bogotá.
