Adaeze, my wife, passed away on 18 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 39 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. 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 Adaeze 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 $550 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $125 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Funeral home services and casket: $395 Thank you for reading my story.
