Yakubu, my brother, passed away on 25 May after a stroke. He was 91 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 June.
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 Yakubu 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 $400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $230
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $105
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
