My name is Azzie Mathews, and I’m raising money to help with the unexpected expenses following the sudden passing of my father, Marty Mathews, on September 23. I never imagined I would have to say goodbye to my dad this way.

Losing my dad so suddenly has been incredibly difficult, and I’m still trying to process everything while having to make arrangements quickly and handle responsibilities I never expected to face this soon.

The circumstances surrounding his passing are still unclear and are currently being investigated, which has made an already heartbreaking situation even more difficult for our family.

Right now, the priority is simply being able to give Marty a proper farewell without adding even more financial stress to an already devastating situation.

We're hoping to raise the funds as quickly as possible because funeral and cremation arrangements can't wait, and these expenses are already here.

If you're able to donate, even a small amount truly helps.

If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful to me. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind message means more than I can put into words.

We are also looking into possibly holding a benefit to help raise additional funds, and we'll share those details as soon as we have them.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me and my family during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
