Usman, my father, passed away on 9 September after a road accident. He was 62 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 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 $500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $185
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Omolara
Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($200). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $90 so far, the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled.

Thinking of you and your family, Omolara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
