Margaret, my wife, passed away on 14 August after a stroke. She was 27 years old. She 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 24 August.
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 Margaret to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $380
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Mwanaisha
Good news. Because of your gifts ($299 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 12% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. More news soon.

Good luck, Mwanaisha. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Mwanaisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings!
Hope it all works out, Mwanaisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ekurhuleni.
this could happen to any of us. Thinking of Embakasi.
