Awka
Nneka, my sister, passed away on 20 September after a stroke. She was 41 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. 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 Nneka 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 $1,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $25 • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
