Help my family lay our father to rest

Hi... My name is Teddo Corbin.

It's never been a thought of mine that i'd end up having to put together something like this... especially for a member of my family. Early morning on Saturday, July 24, 2021, my second father (step father) Wayne Bellert passed away. The abrupt suddenness of his passing hit my family like a tsunami at which has left us feeling empty, stunned and deeply saddened beyond anything we've ever experienced before. It's been a very turbulant year for many of us around the world, given the pandemic and losing other loved ones as well as other unfortunate events. It's an atrocious time we are living in and the last thing I wanted to do was ask anything of the world... Alas, here I am speaking for myself and the rest of my family, asking for your help with financial costs to lay our father Wayne to rest. Our family is struggling to do our best to pay for a viewing service and many other expenses for a proper funeral. Wayne was a man that has not only taken financial responsibility for my mother, myself, my brother and sister for 30 years, but provided so much moral support, love, care, and has done his best to be the fatherly role model any parent could. With that said, we are trying our absolute best to gather funds to Honor Wayne as high as we possibly could for everything he has done for our family and beyond. He was wild, full of enthusiasm for the arts of music, comedy improv, theater, nature, and gardening. He had the most contagious laugh and had a huge passion for giving blood and doing his best to help anyone any way that he could. He was a lot to handle at times, wasn't perfect or a saint, but he was a genuinely great guy with great morals and will be terribly missed by all of us. It pains me deeply with utmost humility that I, along with my family, ask this of you, but we are left with no other choice. We are presenting this, asking for any spare funds to help with costs for our father. Even if its just $1, any amount you share with us is greatly appreciated and helpful. As soon as I can, I will let everyone know when and where we are able to set a date for a memorial for Wayne. From the bottom our hearts, as I speak for everyone in my family, thank you so much for your time and consideration. As Wayne would say, "Peace."
