Okello, my uncle, passed away on 1 November after a short illness. He was 37 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 9 November.
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 Okello 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: $300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $90
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
Glad we found this place.
