Ayanda, my wife, passed away on 8 September after a road accident. She was 28 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 $1,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 Ayanda 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 $1,650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $990
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $490
• Transport of the deceased: $110
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Mandaue so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
How is Shanice doing now?
Good luck, Shanice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Mthatha
looking forward to the next update. Love from Kitakyushu.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Shanice. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Manukau.
