Hello, my name is William Wami Manimé, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult moments of my life. My beloved uncle, Alain Mandza, who was like a father to me, passed away suddenly. His loss has left a deep void in our hearts and our home. Uncle Alain wasn’t just family — he was my foundation. When everything in my life was falling apart and even I stopped believing in myself, he never did. He saw potential in me when I couldn’t see it, and he helped me become the man, husband, and father I am today. He lived as a servant leader, always putting others above himself. He taught me what he called the S.I.R. Code — to Stand for Others (Community), Inspire Hope (Crisis Relief), and Remain Grounded (Faith). These weren’t just words for him; they were how he lived every single day.

Now, as we prepare to lay him to rest, our family is doing everything we can to give him a dignified farewell — one that reflects the love and integrity he showed throughout his life. Unfortunately, there was no life insurance in place, and we’re facing the full costs of funeral and burial expenses, including the morgue, transportation, casket, and service arrangements. Every contribution — no matter the amount — will go directly toward honoring his life with dignity and peace. If you’re unable to give, please share this campaign or keep our family in your prayers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your faith. May God bless you for helping us honor a man who truly lived to serve others.

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” — Psalm 27:14

With gratitude,
William Wami Manimé
