Tamale
Kweku, my brother, passed away on 6 September after a stroke. He was 45 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 13 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 Kweku 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $390 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $160 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sandra
