Lerato, my wife, passed away on 10 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 70 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 August.
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 Lerato 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 $1,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Transport of the deceased: $100
• Memorial gathering for the family: $110
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength, Tracey. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Tracey. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
Sending strength, Tracey. Hope you get there.
