Folake, my wife, passed away on 14 September after a road accident. She was 62 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 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 Folake 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 $500 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $230 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $30 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Chidi
