Help Us Lay Grandma Elizabeth to Rest

Here’s a clearer, more respectful, and heartfelt version of your message:

---

My grandma Elizabeth passed away peacefully after battling brain tumors and internal bleeding for a year. Ever since she fell, she had been in and out of the hospital nonstop. At one point, she was admitted for two months straight. My family and friends loved her deeply — she was kind, loving, and always wanted to see her family happy and together.

While fighting this illness, her biggest wish was to go back home to Kenya and see her children and grandchildren one last time. On November 21, my mom and her began their trip to Kenya. But during a layover, my grandma lost consciousness at the airport. My mom had to stay in a hotel and at the hospital for a day until her vitals stabilized. Once she was okay, they continued their journey.

They landed in Kenya on November 24. My grandma was excited to see her grandchildren and family. Sadly, just two days after arriving, God called her home. She didn’t get to see everyone, but I’m grateful she saw a few of her loved ones before her passing.

My mom returned on December 1, and now, as a family, we are trying to travel back to Kenya to lay my grandma to rest. We don’t have the funds to make the trip. A single plane ticket costs $2,500, and we are a family of six. We are hoping to leave on November 11 for the burial on the 19th.

Anything helps. Even a penny means a lot. God bless you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can offer. Thank you.
