Lagos

Seyi, my grandfather, passed away on 30 August after a short illness. He was 86 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Seyi 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 $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $75 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
