My Dad's funeral expenses

Hi, my name is Lovely. My Dad gave me that name. It was my mother's nickname, and he thought it would be quite fitting as my legal first name. I credit him with giving me a permanent conversation starter and ice breaker when meeting new people. Many of you may know my dad (Kevin Wilmer) went missing on May 11th, 2022. He had just suffered a major heart attack and brain damage, leaving him a little dazed and confused about the year, date, and time. However, he never forgot who we were and how much he loved us. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him. Not to mention - he was a fantastic chef; we will miss him cooking for everyone and rushing us to eat before it gets cold! He was a calm, cool, and collected guy; his nickname was "California Kev" because of those traits. Thank you to everyone for posting the "Missing" fliers on their stories and even helping my family to post them around the city. My Dad was found unalive, and our family was notified in the early morning on June 8th, 2022. We have been living in the anguish of uncertainty of his whereabouts for more than a month and now that we know he has passed away - my mom wants to lay him to rest peacefully and with dignity. Please **donate anything you can to funeral expenses. It costs a lot to die in this country, and everyone deserves to rest in a place their families can visit.

** A portion of the proceeds will go to my sister, whose husband is taking three weeks of unpaid FMLA leave to support my mother and our family during these challenging times.

Hugs, rides to and from the airport, Doordash giftcards, and kind words also help in times like these. Thank you so much to everyone for your outpouring of support. I will also share my CashApp, Venmo, and Paypal for those who wish to see all of their donation in the hands of the family.
