Farewell fund for Kingsley: help Usman's family in Lagos
Kingsley passed away on 12 May; we're raising $500 for a respectful funeral in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria559 views
Kingsley, my husband, passed away on 12 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 87 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 May.
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 Kingsley 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 $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $190
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $235
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Usman. It takes guts to ask. Well done
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Lagos.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lagos.
Thinking of you and your family, Usman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
