A Dedicated Husband and Dad

My nephew, Don Dwayne Rhodes, 48, the youngest son of my sister, Mrs. Joyce R. Rhodes, succumbed to the ill-effects of a seizure on Thursday, September 6, 2018 at precisely 7:06am at Southern Maryland Hospital in Clinton, MD. He leaves behind a loving wife, a beautiful little girl who is her father's pride and joy, and a loving son, Josh. I am submitting this funds account request on behalf of his wife, Mrs. Jewel Williams-Rhodes and their daughter, Ariel, who is just a few days shy of her 6th birthday, and Don's son, Josh and his grandson, Kamryn.  Needless to say, her birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas will not be the same this year and forevermore. Jewel and Ariel ask not for hand-outs, but a helping hand, as the financial burden is much too great for them to bear alone. This is particularly emotionally draining for us all, and as I type this request, I cannot help but realize that this is one task that I never envisioned. 

In advance, the family wishes to express it's profound gratitude for all contributions. We humbly appreciate those who even take the time to read this.
