Saying goodbye to Wangari - help with funeral expenses
Wangari passed away on 9 November; we're raising $700 for a respectful funeral in Nairobi.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya802 views
Wangari, my sister, passed away on 9 November after a sudden heart attack. She was 88 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 November.
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 Wangari 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 Nairobi hospice.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $440
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $115
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Akello
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($440) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Santarém.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 26 people at work. All the best.
