Assist Hayes Family During Their Time of Loss
Donation protected
Dear Family, Friends, and Kind Strangers,
On March 19, 2025, at 3 AM, we lost our father. He was a man who lived fully in the moment, never worrying about what the future might bring. Unfortunately, this means that he didn’t plan ahead for expenses after his passing, leaving us with a heavy financial burden.
Our father didn’t have life insurance, and now, my brothers—Billy, Michael—and I are left to cover the costs of his funeral and related expenses. It’s been an incredibly difficult time for us emotionally and financially, and we’re reaching out to you, our community, for support.
We’ve set up this GoFundMe campaign to help us with the funeral costs and any other necessary expenses. Any contribution—no matter how big or small—would be deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to contribute, we’d be grateful if you could share this message with others who may be able to help.
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support. We appreciate it more than words can express.
With heartfelt thanks,
Courtnei Hayes and Family
