Obiageli, my sister, passed away on 17 September after a short illness. She was 59 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 October.
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 Obiageli to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $750 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck, Omolara. Hope you get there. Greetings from Liverpool!
Thinking of you, Omolara. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope it all works out, Omolara. I hope things turn around soon
Hope things get better soon, Omolara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up!
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Cebu City but we're thinking of you. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Durham
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
