Nabirye, my mother, passed away on 17 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 90 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 May.
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 Nabirye 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 $400 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155
• Funeral home services and casket: $215
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Diego
