Farewell fund for Chiamaka: help Lanre's family in Ogbomosho
Lanre lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $450.
🇳🇬 Ogbomosho, Oyo, Nigeria1,060 views
Chiamaka, my grandmother, passed away on 12 September after a short illness. She was 69 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 September.
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 Chiamaka to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $240
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $110
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($5 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
