Saying goodbye to Khadija - help with funeral expenses
Yetunde lost her sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $850.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria1,834 views
Khadija, my sister, passed away on 4 September after a stroke. She was 28 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 September.
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 Khadija 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 $850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $530
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
With deep gratitude,
Yetunde
