Andile, my husband, passed away on 8 June after a short illness. He was 39 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 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 Andile 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 the Richards Bay hospice.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $900
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $120

Good news. Because of your gifts ($135 in total) the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Mandla
Update from Richards Bay: I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Mandla
