Million, my uncle, passed away on 18 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 46 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 July.
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 Million 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 $700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $170
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
• Memorial gathering for the family: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

how is Kebede doing now?
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Warren.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. All the best
