Marie, my grandmother, passed away on 15 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 49 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 August.
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 Marie 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 $1,050 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $260
• Memorial gathering for the family: $195
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $595
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Badagry.
