Kreesan, my brother, passed away on 20 March after a stroke. He was 44 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 March.
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 Kreesan 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 $800 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $85
• Funeral home services and casket: $640
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Yusuf. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kampala.
Hope things get better soon, Yusuf. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
