Hellen, my sister, passed away on 8 March after a sudden heart attack. She was 93 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 $250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 March. 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 Hellen 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 the Arusha hospice. Where the $250 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $20 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 • Funeral home services and casket: $205 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
