Kampala
Achieng, my sister, passed away on 2 June after complications from pneumonia. She was 84 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Achieng 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 Kampala hospice. Where the $200 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 • Transport of the deceased: $85 Glad we found this place.
