Andrew Pawlack medical and funeral fund

Donation protected
Andrew Joseph Pawlack,  Jr is losing his battle after suffering a stroke about 5 years ago. His heart is failing and has been in the hospital almost 2 weeks. Yesterday the decision was made to move him to comfort care in anne Arundel medical center.  His time is short and decisions must be made in preparation for his next chapter in life. Medical expenses are building as well. 

Andrew is 73 years old. He lived a long happy life filled with love and 9 children.  As well as having 20 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. He had 8 daughters and then he finally got his boy. He was finally complete. He was looking forward to seeing his baby and only son graduate from high school and even seeing him turn 18. But that hope is not going to happen. So when it came time the family came together in a time of sadness and brought graduation to him in the icu of anne Arundel medical center.  His principal joined us bedside to make his dream come true while he was still able to participate.  Were very glad this was possible as his light is starting to dim and is not awake very often. 

We as a family are asking for help. With his medical expenses being what they have been for almost 5 years in nursing home and now this. His funeral expenses are out of reach. All his accounts we drained with his stroke. His insurance policies couldn't be paid so they canceled. Please if you could help us give him a funeral so he may rest in peace. I know he will soar high above us and watch over his children. 

My children's father (Andrew joeseph Pawlack, Jr) is near his end and is on hospice care at Annapolis hospital. My youngest son (Sebastian Pawlack) is set to graduate high school june 5th. It was very important to him and his father for his dad to see his accomplishment. When it was made clear that he might not make it through the night I began making calls. Through several call I finally at 6 pm last got my sons principal from westminster high school to call me. I explained what was happening. He expressed comforting words and said he would make graduation happen and would be there by 8 pm. He stopped what he was doing and was there right on time. When he arrived, he spoke with me and my son. Fitted him into cap gown and tassel and explained how he wanted to do this. He then gathered my son and his 8 siblings (yes my first husband had 9 children and is currently at 20 grandbabies plus several great) in a group. He offered comfort and explained this was special for him also as he lost his mother in junior year of high school. He shared experience and got some chuckles out of a group of saddened children preparing for the inevitable. He then announced "welcome to westminster high school commencement ceremony in Annapolis. He walked us to his room, gathered us around and we watched. As commencement music played on a cell phone, my son walked in and it began. He gave a special speech address really all the children, but especially my son. About how my sons father had taught and raised him and help make him the man he is today. His father looked on very proudly. Not able to say alot but his expression said it all. The principal john baugher pronounced my son graduated and shook hands. He then did some photos with my son and his father for his memory book. His dad then handed him the keys to his truck for a graduation gift. Afterwards the principal discussed with me making sure sebastian had a picture in the slide show for the full ceremony with his father so he would see him there. Plus making sure we have enough tickets for ceremony for all his siblings to be able to attend and see their youngest and only brother graduate with dad on big screen. I'm sad my children are losing their very loved father but so glad mr baugher from westminster high school made this happen on such short notice and helping to comfort the children and family. Also Annapolis hospital was amazing in their accommodations in the icu to allow us this short time for father, son and family.

Please if you could please share these good deeds for these amazing men, Andrew, John and Sebastian to be recognized

Thank you
