Zaria
Damilola, my grandmother, passed away on 29 June after a short illness. She was 82 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 July. 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 Damilola 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $380 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 Every share and every dollar helps.
