Fatuma, my grandmother, passed away on 29 April after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 77 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 May.
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 Fatuma 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 $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $430
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $20
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kasarani.
