Help Kevin lay Kamau to rest with dignity in Kasarani
After the sudden passing of Kamau, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Kamau, my father, passed away on 19 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 65 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 May.
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 Kamau 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 $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $640
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Kevin. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Thanks for sharing this, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kasarani.
