Zaria
Dayo, my brother, passed away on 11 February after a short illness. He was 32 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 March. 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 Dayo 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 $200 goes: โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $50 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ikenna
