Funeral and memorial service of...Ogundana Tinuola Foluke

Dear compassionate souls,

My name is Faith, and I find myself reaching out to you in the wake of an immense tragedy that has befallen my family. Just a short while ago, we relocated to the United Kingdom in pursuit of a better life. As an international student still grappling with the financial burdens of education, every day presents its own set of challenges. However, nothing could have prepared us for the sudden loss of my beloved mother, Mrs. Ogundana Tinuola Foluke, who departed from this world on the 18th of April 2024.

The weight of grief is compounded by the practicalities that follow such a profound loss. With my younger sisters, one still navigating her way through secondary school and the other in the midst of her A Level studies, the responsibility falls heavily on my shoulders. In the midst of our mourning, we were met with the daunting reality of arranging our mother's funeral.

My heart is heavy as I recount the night of her passing, with my sisters by her side and the midnight hour bearing witness to our sorrow. Their young hearts are shattered, and I find myself grasping for solace in the face of overwhelming grief. Despite my best efforts to provide and protect, the financial burden of laying our mother to rest seems insurmountable.

I stand before you, humbled and in desperate need, for I cannot face this daunting task alone. With the funeral home providing an estimate ranging between £9,000-10,000, the weight of this responsibility threatens to consume us. Every pound donated will contribute to honouring my mother's memory with the dignity and respect she deserves.

Your generosity is not merely a gift; it is a beacon of hope illuminating our darkest hour. With your support, we can alleviate the financial strain that threatens to overshadow our grief. Together, we can ensure that my mother's farewell is a testament to the love and unity that binds us, transcending borders, and barriers.

I implore you, from the depths of my soul, to extend your hand in compassion and kindness. In our time of need, your generosity will serve as a lifeline, offering solace and support when it is needed most.

With profound gratitude and unwavering faith,

Faith Ayodele
