Segun, my uncle, passed away on 16 August after a road accident. He was 74 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Segun 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 $350 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 Thanks for reading all this.

    Take care, Ebuka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
