Jayden, my brother, passed away on 7 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 76 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Jayden 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 $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350 • Transport of the deceased: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $400 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Caroline

  • Rooting for you, Caroline. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page

    • Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Toronto.

      • Keep going, Caroline. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Kisumu.

        • Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 20 people at work!
