Help Lanre lay Henry to rest with dignity in Lagos
Henry passed away on 20 April; we're raising $450 for a respectful funeral in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,399 views
Henry, my grandfather, passed away on 20 April after complications from pneumonia. He was 93 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 May.
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 Henry 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 $450 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
• Funeral home services and casket: $395
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Lanre. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Lagos
