Luis, my husband, passed away on 19 September after a short illness. He was 33 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Luis 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 a local food bank. Where the $1,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $800 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $440 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 With deep gratitude, Iván

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Ibadan.
