Pamela, my sister, passed away on 15 September after a road accident. She was 47 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 $5,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Pamela 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 $5,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Transport of the deceased: $330
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from James
Small update. $3,511 so far, the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,110 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($630). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Love from Narayanganj
Sending strength, James. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Ubud so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, James. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Love from Toulon!
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you.
