Stella, my wife, passed away on 12 December after a stroke. She was 64 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 December. 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 Stella 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 $5,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $470 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Love from Badagry!

      Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Tucson.

      • Koen Visser

        Wishing you peace, Owen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
