Wafula, my uncle, passed away on 20 July after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 July. 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 Wafula 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 $800 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $610 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $45 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
