Sadie, my wife, passed away on 20 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 65 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $5,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 October. 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 Sadie 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 local food bank. Where the $5,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650 • Transport of the deceased: $165 • Memorial gathering for the family: $235 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Lincoln

Updates from Lincoln

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Dundee: I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. We're at 57% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,108 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

        I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Ottawa.
