Saying goodbye to Sani - help with funeral expenses
Nkechi lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $200.
🇳🇬 Nsukka, Enugu, Nigeria1,042 views
Sani, my brother, passed away on 28 December after complications from pneumonia. He was 29 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 January.
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 Sani 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $200 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
• Memorial gathering for the family: $45
• Transport of the deceased: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
praying for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nkechi?
Thank you. If you're in Nsukka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you, Nkechi. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Best of luck, Nkechi. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Take care, Nkechi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 26 people at work. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nkechi
Sure. The biggest one is cemetery plot and burial fees, $130. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending good thoughts, Nkechi. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Enugu this morning. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Mumbai.
Praying for you, Nkechi. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
