Kioko, my grandfather, passed away on 25 December after a short illness. He was 81 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 January. 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 Kioko 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $220 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 I hope life is good to you.
