Michael, my grandfather, passed away on 16 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 35 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 October.
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 Michael 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 Badagry hospice.
Where the $800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $460
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
