On December 15, 2025, our family experienced an unimaginable loss. Our beloved father passed away suddenly during surgery as a result of a pulmonary embolism. His death was quick, unexpected, and devastating, leaving our hearts broken and our family completely unprepared for the financial burden that followed. Our dad was the proud father of eight children, and he meant the world to each of us. He was someone who showed up for his family in his own way, and his presence will forever be missed. Losing him so abruptly has been incredibly difficult—not only emotionally, but financially as well. Unfortunately, our father did not have life insurance. As a result, his eight children have struggled to cover the cost of his cremation, and we were forced to make the painful decision to forego holding a proper memorial service to honor his life. This has been especially hard, as we want nothing more than to give him the dignity and remembrance he deserves. We are humbly asking for any support you are able to give. No donation is too small, and every contribution is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, we ask that you please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach others. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time. It truly means more to our family than words can express.
