Benjamin, my brother, passed away on 23 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 80 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 7 June.
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 Benjamin 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 the Kumasi hospice.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
