Wekesa, my husband, passed away on 18 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 26 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Wekesa 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 $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $560
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $90
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $10

So sorry you're going through this, Mukasa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kinondoni!
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Swansea but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Mukasa. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Mukasa. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope it all works out, Mukasa. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Praying for you, Mukasa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Hang in there. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Glendale.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Galle.
Stay strong, Mukasa. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
