Yinka, my grandfather, passed away on 22 February after a sudden heart attack. He was 89 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 March.
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 Yinka 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 Zaria hospice.
Where the $550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $135
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Tunde
Update from Zaria: the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $150 raised so far (27%). I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

wishing you the best, Tunde. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Tunde. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Zaria.
