Sade, my sister, passed away on 3 August after a short illness. She was 91 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Sade 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 $900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $640 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 Thanks for reading all this.
