My Dad's Funeral and more
Donation protected
On Saturday, December 5th, Steve Cartwright passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Steve was the voice behind the Brit from Brat. Due to the sudden nature of his death, Steve did not have any time to make arrangements for his services and to make sure expenses he normally covered for his teenage daughter, Hayley, were paid. Now in addition to Hayley losing her father she has to figure out how to lay him down and how to make ends meet. Unfortunately this responsibility falls on her shoulders as Steve moved to the United States from his home country of England as a young man twenty-five years ago and she is his only relative in this country. His brother and his brother’s children still live in England.
His daughter has one of the closest relationships with her father that anyone has seen a teenager have. Hayley believes her father would want to be cremated and have some of his ashes spread here and some in his favorite town in England, which he always considered to be his home. Therefore, she is trying to have a service here and in England. She simply does not have money for even the basic parts of his funeral expenses. The money requested in this GoFundMe would be used for cremation, services and to bring her father home. In addition your generous donation would help cover her every day expenses, such as health insurance, which her dad would normally help pay. Please donate as generously as you can.
Steve was an amazing man who was loved by all and who loved all. He had many friends and was one of the most caring people anyone could ever meet. He also was endlessly funny and generous beyond words! Steve was one of the best friends and fathers any person could have. He held positions throughout his time in Vermont at Mt. Snow, The Brattleboro Reformer and Holiday Inn Express. He had a strong relationship with all of the many programs his daughter took part in and was a beloved parent at each of these. Steve made clear in his life that his daughter Hayley was the most important thing to him and nothing ever would come before Hayley. He was an incredible father to her and a fantastic role model for many children and adults throughout his life. He leaves behind his daughter Hayley and his relatives in England who will be named in his Obituary.
Service dates and times will be set in the weeks to come. For now, please consider donating generously so that Hayley can focus solely on grieving the loss of her father as she should have the liberty and freedom to do, especially so close to the holidays- his favorite holiday. The goal in this campaign is the minimum of what Hayley needs to cover expenses that her father would have and in reality the costs will be more then this! Thank you so much for your loving support!
