Good day! I would like to request in your good office for financial assistance. My brother died last Dec. 10, 2022 and we have 300k worth of unpaid hospital bills. He was in the ICU for 9 days. We are able to pay only 100k with the help of our friends and relatives. We really are in need of help because our family is financially unstable and it will be a great help if your good office grant our request. Thank you so much and God bless!
