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.
