Kayode, my husband, passed away on 26 October after a sudden heart attack. He was 62 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 November. 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 Kayode 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: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $220 • Funeral home services and casket: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Idowu

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 40% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. - Idowu

  2. Small update. $242 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
