Saying goodbye to Ngozi - help with funeral expenses

After the sudden passing of Ngozi, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Ngozi, my mother, passed away on 1 July after a road accident. She was 36 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 July. 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 Ngozi 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 a local food bank. Where the $500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $340 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
