Mandla lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $600.

Lesego, my sister, passed away on 26 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 32 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 October.
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 Lesego 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 $600 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $470
• Transport of the deceased: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
