Zanzibar City
Githinji, my father, passed away on 14 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 30 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 September. 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 Githinji 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 $750 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 • Funeral home services and casket: $550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Best of luck, Evans. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
