Tarkwa
Eric, my grandfather, passed away on 15 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 30 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 May. 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 Eric to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Funeral home services and casket: $340 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Abena

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($439 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($264). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Update from Tarkwa: the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
