Farewell fund for Garba: help Ngozi's family in Zaria
Ngozi lost her husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $550.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria1,123 views
Garba, my husband, passed away on 27 August after a stroke. He was 83 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Garba 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 $550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $240
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
Glad we found this place.

best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Tarragona so I could bring a meal. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ngozi?
Thank you. If you're in Zaria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Diego.
Stay strong, Ngozi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
