Help Kioko lay Kamau to rest with dignity in Embakasi
Kioko lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $700.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,912 views
Kamau, my grandfather, passed away on 6 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 88 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 16 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 $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $560
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Embakasi.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Embakasi.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Embakasi.
Good luck, Kioko. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
