Urgent help for burial costs.

Losing someone is hard enough without the weight of the burial bill. The casket, grave, transport and receiving guests can run into millions in some places, even for a modest funeral. Families usually share the cost, and many put part of it on AbegNa, where requests go up to ₦100,000.
