Usman, my grandfather, passed away on 22 September after a road accident. He was 39 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Usman 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 $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $440
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $165
Thank you for reading my story.
