Kehinde, my wife, passed away on 3 January after complications from pneumonia. She was 68 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 $450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 January. 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 Kehinde 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 $450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $230 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $80 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Joy
