Lanre, my husband, passed away on 22 January after a road accident. He was 73 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 2 February. 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 Lanre 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 $650 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 • Funeral home services and casket: $400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 I hope life is good to you. - Chidinma
