Ogbomosho
Kunle, my uncle, passed away on 19 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 40 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Kunle to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the Ogbomosho hospice. Where the $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $340 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $160 • Transport of the deceased: $90 • Memorial gathering for the family: $60 I hope life is good to you. - Abosede

      Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ogbomosho.

              Hang in there, Abosede. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
