Help Nneka lay Emeka to rest with dignity in Ogbomosho
Nneka lost her father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $700.
🇳🇬 Oyo, Nigeria1,784 views
Emeka, my father, passed away on 4 May after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Emeka 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: $460
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $160
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
Thank you so much.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ogbomosho
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Fresno.
hope things get better soon, Nneka. This could happen to any of us!
Thanks for sharing this, Nneka. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
