Help George's Family with Final Expenses

Donation protected
My father, George Lowen, 74, passed away this morning unexpectedly, of natural causes. George was always the light of my life; he loved me and his grandkids more than life itself. He had a way of lighting up the room and bringing joy and laughter to all those who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

He just had a septic pipe break 3 weeks ago that wasn't covered by his insurance and had to come up with $15,000 out of pocket to fix the issue, including borrowing money that still needs to be paid back. This has left us with no funds to be able to pay for his final expenses and a memorial service, or to pay the monthly bills that are coming due. His social security stops as of his death date, so he will get no additional deposits. I have no idea how I'm supposed to pay for the bills that were due for this month. I am his only child and I have MS and am on disability, so I barely have enough to pay my own bills, let alone cover his final expenses. Due to all of his health conditions, he was not able to purchase life insurance, so we don't have that to fall back on either. Any help you could give toward being able to lay him to rest, provide a celebration of life ceremony, and to settle his final bills would be eternally appreciated.

If you prefer to donate to my Cash App so it doesn't take fees out like GoFundMe does, my Cash App is $tonicritch. We will not be having a viewing as that was against his wishes, but I will be organizing a celebration of life within a few weeks. I will keep everyone updated on this. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to me via Facebook Messenger and I will get back to you as I am able, as I'll be a little overwhelmed trying to make all the arrangements.

Thank you all for any donations you may be able to provide, and please keep me and the kids in your prayers as we navigate this difficult time.
