Garba, my uncle, passed away on 21 September after a stroke. He was 62 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Garba 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 $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $600
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Lagos
