Passing of my father

Donation protected
As all of you know I lost my father on Tuesday the 28th of November. He had been in our home in hospice care for a while but his health deteriorated rapidly at end of last week. I watched my father that was once a strong man who took care of his family become a frail man not able to eat, drink or speak to us. We were told by hospice that we would not have my dad here for Christmas so we did Christmas on Sunday November 25th. We knew he could hear us so we told him everything we were doing to including him in on decorating the house and the tree. On Tuesday the nurse came to see him and she told us told us he wasn't going to make it through the night..my heart broke. Being told that I was  never going to see my daddy again broke me to my core.  Within one hour he was gone, all of us were here at his bedside to let him know it was okay to go home to my mom who had  been waiting 10 years for him to join her. As I set here crying writing this story this is one of the most difficult things I've had to do. I had wonderful parents but like many they did not make provisions for when they passed. My brothers and I have to pick up the pieces and go on with our lives but because of the provisions that were not made this is going to be difficult for us. We have one income coming in to our household which is my social security. December's going to be a very hard month but I know January will be a new year and we're going to be okay and get through this. But right now we need a little bit of help with some cost that occurred before he passed and funeral expenses. I've never reached out to my friends to ask for help but as I set here crying I need to ask for your help at this point in my life. Any funds that are raised will be used medical and funeral expenses. For anybody that helps I will be eternally grateful I'm just at dire straits right now I don't know where to turn except to my friends and family. I know many of you have been where I'm at now and can understand the situation my brothers and I are in. Any help would be a blessing I love you all and thank you for listening to my story.
