Dereje, my uncle, passed away on 8 February after a sudden heart attack. He was 23 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 February.
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 Dereje to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $400 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $20
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
• Funeral home services and casket: $345
Thank you so much.

take care, Mekonnen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Addis Ababa
Thinking of you, Mekonnen. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Jalandhar.
Good luck, Mekonnen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Take care
wishing you the best, Mekonnen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Wishing you peace, Mekonnen. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Addis Ababa
