Funeral costs for Obinna's grandmother, Jumoke
Obinna lost his grandmother suddenly and the family cannot cover funeral and burial costs of $950.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria1,965 views
Jumoke, my grandmother, passed away on 9 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 44 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Jumoke 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 Asaba hospice.
Where the $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $590
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Obinna. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Asaba.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Hialeah.
Rooting for you, Obinna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Take care, Obinna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal!
