Taiga, my brother, passed away on 28 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 58 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 $2,850 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 Taiga 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 $2,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540 • Transport of the deceased: $310 • Memorial gathering for the family: $400 Thank you for reading my story.

        Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Mukono.

        • Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Sapporo.

          • Hang in there, Satomi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.

            • sending love, Satomi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
