Anywhere in the world639 views
Musyoka, my husband, passed away on 21 September after a stroke. He was 40 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Musyoka 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:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Funeral home services and casket: $570
With deep gratitude,
Wekesa

Good luck, Wekesa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kikuyu.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wekesa
It's all in the list in the story. memorial gathering for the family is the big one at $35, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Akron.
Wishing you peace, Wekesa. Hope you get there.
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bonny
