Wesley, my husband, passed away on 22 September after a short illness. He was 50 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Wesley 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 $4,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $200
• Memorial gathering for the family: $450
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bowling Green.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Soweto so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Jonathan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Islamabad this morning. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Kasarani!
