Bonny
Uche, my grandmother, passed away on 4 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 82 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 24 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 Uche 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 the Bonny hospice. Where the $800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $540 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Comfort

Updates from Comfort

  1. 78% there. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Thank you.

  2. Quick update: $585 raised so far (73%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($355 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
