Farewell fund for Garba: help Samuel's family in Lagos
Garba passed away on 30 June; we're raising $900 for a respectful funeral in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria2,789 views
Garba, my uncle, passed away on 30 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 56 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 July.
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.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $620
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Lagos
Stay strong, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Lagos.
