Dr Ken Kemathe Rukunga
I am reaching out to you because we have started a GoFundMe campaign to help send the body of my uncle, Dr Ken Kemathe Rukunga, home for burial in Kenya.
Ken is more than a dad to me; he raised me and shaped me to be the kind of person I am today. Some of you may have seen him at my place of work though not knowing who he was.
Dr Kemathe passed away on July 2, 2019, after a long illness. He is one of the first few Kenyans who were flown to study in North America in the 60s and earned himself a PhD in Finance and Economics.
He’s a graduate of McGill University in Canada and later lectured at UDC, Pennsylvania and DC Public Schools. Throughout his life, Dr. Ken touched many lives with his act of kindness, humour and generous spirit.
He was an avid surfer and passionate about making a difference in the lives of people. Above all, he was a devoted and dedicated man of faith. Now, he deserves to be sent home to be given a dignified burial surrounded by his loving family, friends and community, for that was his wish.
We need your help as we seek to raise the total cost of the entire trip and other logistics amounting to $20,000.00. Kindly, make an urgent donation and share the news within your network. I know that money can be tight but whatever you can give, it is greatly appreciated as it will get us closer to the goal. Thanks for your generosity.
We’ ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
