Help Bolaji lay Samuel to rest with dignity in Lagos
Bolaji lost his father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $850.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,523 views
Samuel, my father, passed away on 6 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 70 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 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 Samuel 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 $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $590
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $165
• Transport of the deceased: $50
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.
