Saying goodbye to Leul - help with funeral expenses
Leul lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $450.
🇪🇹 1004, Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia1,127 views
Leul, my grandfather, passed away on 25 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 52 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Leul 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 the Hawassa hospice.
Where the $450 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Funeral home services and casket: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Leul. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hope things get better soon, Leul. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
How is Leul doing now?
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Sidama. I'll ask around and let you know.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Hawassa.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Leul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 39 people at work
