Dar es Salaam
John, my father, passed away on 7 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 24 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 June. 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 John 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 Dar es Salaam hospice. Where the $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140 • Transport of the deceased: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Awino

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($57 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $32 so far, I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
