Bolaji, my father, passed away on 31 March after a road accident. He was 60 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 April.
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 Bolaji 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 $550 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Funeral home services and casket: $460

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Badagry
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about memorial gathering for the family, advice is welcome too.
keep going, Uche. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Take care, Uche. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Multan.
Sending strength, Uche. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
