Adama
Mekonnen, my grandfather, passed away on 24 March after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 52 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 8 April. 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 Mekonnen 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 $450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $340 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Thank you for reading my story.

          Hang in there, Sara. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings!
