Nnamdi, my grandfather, passed away on 17 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 53 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 July. 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 Nnamdi 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $550 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $320 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $20 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
