Kakamega
Mukasa, my grandfather, passed away on 18 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 49 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 September. 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 Mukasa 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 a neighborhood youth program. Where the $750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $410 • Transport of the deceased: $110 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
