Bello, my grandfather, passed away on 10 February after a road accident. He was 56 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 February. 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 Bello 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 $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 • Transport of the deceased: $90 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 Glad we found this place.
