Saying goodbye to Mercy - help with funeral expenses
Emeka lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $800.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria765 views
Mercy, my sister, passed away on 31 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 40 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 August.
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 Mercy 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 Wudil hospice.
Where the $800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you peace. Hope you get there. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles
Good luck, Emeka. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Wudil.
Hope it all works out, Emeka. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Hang in there, Emeka. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending love, Emeka. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Dhaka.
