Dear Friends and Family,

We are writing to you on behalf of our dear friend, Ludo Vika, who recently suffered the loss of her husband of 30 years, Dave Conrades. As you can imagine, this unfortunate event is not only an emotional blow, but is having severe financial impact on Ludo.

We respectfully ask that you consider making a donation towards the following necessary expenses:

Memorial Services for Dave in Los Angeles

Burial in Dave's home state of North Carolina

Transportation - flights, car rental

Lodging and meals

Living expenses for 2 months-paying mortgage and bills

We know that it may be a stretch during this season, but helping our friends in times of need is what the holidays are all about. Thank you for your support.
