Ruan lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,200.
🇿🇦 South Africa2,262 views
Refilwe, my grandmother, passed away on 4 October after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 30 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 October.
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 Refilwe 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 $1,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $790
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $115
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Ruan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this, Ruan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Bergamo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Stellenbosch.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Madrid.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Spokane so I could bring a meal. All the best.
