Zubby, my grandfather, passed away on 31 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 49 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 5 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 Zubby 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:
• Funeral home services and casket: $280
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200
• Transport of the deceased: $20
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Oluwaseun
Thank you all. We're at 53% now ($294). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($244 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
