Temitope, my sister, passed away on 25 September 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Temitope to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $630 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $75 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Olumide

Good news. Because of your gifts ($175 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 25% funded and I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($170). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. Love from Dayton.
