Hello, My name is Abigail,
I am the only daughter and best friend of the late Rev. Gifty Lamptey.
Please help me cover my mother's Homegoing expenses. My mother was a very hard working lady and her unexpected illness drained her coffers and life savings.
My mother helped everyone who came across her path, even when she didn't have, she always found ways to bless those in need. She fed and clothed the homeless. She was a mother to the motherless.
Please, kindly find it in your hearts to support me in this time of need to honor my mother's last wishes. Her wishes were to be laid to rest in her homeland of Ghana.
May the Good Lord bless you for your generosity, I really appreciate.
Thank you all very much.

Sincerely Yours,

Abigail.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
