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. - Lanre

  1. 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.
