Boyce Poly Khan Funeral Fund
Donation protected
On the morning of February 2, 2020, on Super Bowl Sunday, on the first palindrome day in 909 years, my dad, Boyce Poly Khan, suddenly passed away, due to unforeseeable complications from his numerous health conditions.
Ever since I could remember, my dad worked tirelessly to provide nothing short of the American Dream for his wife, Lydia, my mom, my two older brothers, Lester and Lee, and me. He provided our family with everything we could have ever wanted, until his health began to deteriorate 2016, and we began falling into financial hardship the same year.
He was diagnosed with renal failure due to diabetic complications and began undergoing dialysis three times a week. He was no longer able to take care of driving my mom to work and picking her up, or buy groceries and shop, or take care of my older brother, Lee, who is disabled indefinitely. I have been trying my best to take care of my parents and older brother over the years, but I have failed miserably.
As best as my dad tried to ensure his family lived good and prosperous lives, I have not been able to provide the same for my dad and mom as they grew older. This is why I have created this fundraiser for him.
I am unable to pay for my dad's funeral service and burial. I am asking anyone who has ever known him to be the kind, loving husband and father he always was, as well as anyone with a kind and sympathetic heart please donate what you are able, no matter how small, in order to give my dad the decency of a proper funeral and burial. All funds raised will go directly toward his funeral arrangements, including his burial.
I love my dad in words far too poignant and eloquent for me to ever attempt. He's given my mom, Lydia, my older brother Lee, my oldest brother, Lester, his wife, Donna, and their children, Julius, and Avery, more than we could ever repay throughout our lives, but most importantly, he gave us his love and compassion that only a good husband and father could know. In the end, I was not even able to tell him, "I love you" to him one final time, before he passed. I'm ashamed that I cannot even afford to send my dad back to the earth from whence he and we all came. If you're able to donate anything for my dad's funeral, all I can offer in return is my eternal thanks for showing your compassion and generosity. Thank you very much.
I have always called my parents as either mom or dad. Saying mother or father sounds too formal to me. Even now, I can't even force myself to say it. Yes, by definition, Boyce Poly Khan was a father. But I'm still his youngest son, and he will always and forever be, "My Dad."
