Help Garba lay Bukola to rest with dignity in Lagos
Bukola passed away on 28 June; we are raising $600 for a respectful funeral in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria848 views
Bukola, my sister, passed away on 28 June after a sudden heart attack. She was 26 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Bukola 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240
• Transport of the deceased: $25
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
Thank you for reading my story.
