Help Sarah lay Musyoka to rest with dignity in Mwanza
Sarah lost her father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $500.
🇹🇿 Tanzania919 views
Musyoka, my father, passed away on 5 May after a stroke. He was 22 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 May.
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 Musyoka 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 $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $290
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $100
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Sarah. This could happen to any of us. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you, Sarah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
