Patience, my wife, passed away on 2 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 55 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Patience 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 $800 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $265
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Akosua.
Sure. The biggest one is memorial gathering for the family, $45. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Obuasi
