Beatrice, my sister, passed away on 11 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 39 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Beatrice 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 $650 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $75 • Funeral home services and casket: $400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    So sorry you're going through this, Waweru. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Fort Portal.

        Rooting for you, Waweru. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Radom so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Fort Portal

        • Rina Shahana Mondal

          Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Utrecht this morning.

          • Pavithra S. Ramachandran

            Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

            • Thu Oanh Dang

              Wishing you peace, Waweru. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
