Likoni
Anyango, my wife, passed away on 11 October after complications from pneumonia. She was 22 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 October. 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 Anyango 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $110 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Winnie

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($540 in total) the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($405 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 30% there. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Thank you.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Winnie!

    • Winnie Atim KariukiOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

            Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
