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
