Saying goodbye to Juma - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Juma, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Juma, my uncle, passed away on 19 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 87 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 $250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 July.
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 Juma 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 $250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $25
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gulu!
Thank you. If you're in Gulu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
