Okechukwu, my husband, passed away on 14 June after a stroke. He was 30 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 June. 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 Okechukwu 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $620 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.

                        Thinking of you, Ngozi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
