Support Christiane Kamariza’s Mother’s Funeral and Hospital Costs

This morning, I received the heartbreaking news that my best friend’s mother, Madame NSABIMANA Bernadette, has passed away.

Christiane Kamariza and I have been inseparable for over 13 years. She is more than a friend; she is family. Her mother was also like a second mom to me: warm, generous, and deeply loving.

Over the past year, Madame Bernadette had been in and out of the hospital due to a back injury. Sadly, her condition worsened when doctors discovered she had kidney disease, which led to a stroke. The stroke left her paralyzed, unable to speak, and in a coma. Despite all efforts at Tanganyika Hospital, she passed away early this morning.

Christiane is devastated and unable to travel for the funeral. She is mourning from afar, carrying the emotional weight of this loss along with months of medical bills.

I started this GoFundMe to support Christiane and her family through this painful time. Donations will help cover hospital expenses, funeral arrangements, and support the three grandchildren Madame Bernadette was caring for.

Any amount, no matter the size, will make a difference. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign. Let’s show Christiane she is not alone.

With deep gratitude,

Francine Nihozeko-Haswell
