Embakasi
Kariuki, my brother, passed away on 26 July after a stroke. He was 66 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 August. 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 Kariuki 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 the Embakasi hospice. Where the $650 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 • Transport of the deceased: $25 • Funeral home services and casket: $590 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Sending strength, Opio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

        Best of luck, Opio. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Abbottabad.
