Araba, my mother, passed away on 19 September after a short illness. She was 29 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Araba 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 Takoradi hospice.
Where the $800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $530
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145
• Transport of the deceased: $25
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Thinking of Takoradi.
Sending love, Henry. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Takoradi.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Takoradi
Good luck, Henry. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Johannesburg.
