Funeral costs for Bukola's sister, Halima
After the sudden passing of Halima, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,324 views
Halima, my sister, passed away on 25 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 33 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Halima 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 $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $440
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you. Love from Berlin.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Bukola?
Thank you. If you're in Ikeja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Vancouver.
