Kimberly, my sister, passed away on 30 March after a short illness. She was 22 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 April.
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 Kimberly 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 local food bank.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,750
• Transport of the deceased: $185
• Memorial gathering for the family: $165

Hang in there, Brooks. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Tarkwa.
stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Brooks. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Cincinnati
Rooting for you, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Tallahassee.
thinking of you and your family, Brooks. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
