Titilayo, my mother, passed away on 21 August after a road accident. She was 65 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 September. 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 Titilayo 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 Every share and every dollar helps. - Festus
