Comfort, my mother, passed away on 18 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 84 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 5 March. 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 Comfort 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 $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $410 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $110 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Obiageli

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you peace, Obiageli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

    • You're not alone, Obiageli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      • Thinking of you and your family, Obiageli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.

        • Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning
