Funeral costs for Simiyu's father, Mussa
After the sudden passing of Mussa, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya1,907 views
Mussa, my father, passed away on 4 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 88 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Mussa 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 $950 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
• Funeral home services and casket: $580
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Simiyu. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Embakasi.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending good thoughts, Simiyu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Yokohama
you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Embakasi.
Praying for you, Simiyu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
