Wondimu, my father, passed away on 31 August after a stroke. He was 27 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 September.
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 Wondimu 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Transport of the deceased: $35
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
I hope life is good to you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Nebiyu?
Thank you. If you're in Mekelle I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

How is Nebiyu doing now?
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Udaipur but we're thinking of you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nebiyu.
Funeral home services and casket is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal.
