Lilian, my sister, passed away on 7 January after a sudden heart attack. She was 40 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 January. 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 Lilian 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 Epe hospice. Where the $350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $260 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 • Transport of the deceased: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        • is there anything that isn't money that would help Temitope?

          • Thank you. If you're in Epe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

        • Stay strong, Temitope. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Temitope

            • Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $260. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

              • Hope it all works out, Temitope. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

                • keep going, Temitope. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

                  • Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you.

                    • Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Los Angeles.

                      • Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Epe.

                        • Sending good thoughts, Temitope. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kano!
