Ngozi, my sister, passed away on 3 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 88 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Ngozi 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 $700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $175
• Funeral home services and casket: $500
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Henry. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
Thinking of you, Henry. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Henry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from São Paulo.
