Help Themba lay Imran to rest with dignity in Johannesburg
Themba lost his husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,000.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa685 views
Imran, my husband, passed away on 28 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 33 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 June.
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 Imran 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 $1,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.
