Ochieng, my brother, passed away on 29 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 25 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Ochieng 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 $500 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $115 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 • Funeral home services and casket: $350 If you're reading this, thank you.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Limoges
