Hi, my name is Clarise Canton and I’m reaching out during the most difficult time of my life.

My beloved father, Amado Canton, passed away on July 21st. He came to the United States hoping to build a better future not only for himself but also for our family back home in the Philippines. He worked hard, lived simply, and gave so much love to everyone around him—both here and across the miles.

Now that he’s gone, his greatest wish was to bring him back home to the Philippines, where he can rest in peace surrounded by the love of family and friends who were not able to be with him during his final moments.

Unfortunately, the cost of repatriating his remains is much more than our family can afford on our own. Between funeral home services, international transportation, documentation, and burial expenses in the Philippines, we are facing costs of approximately $10,000.

We are humbly asking for your help. Any contribution—big or small—will go directly toward bringing my father home and giving him the dignified farewell he deserves. Your kindness and support mean more to us than words can express.

Please help us honor his memory and fulfill this final wish. If you are unable to donate, we would be so grateful if you could share this campaign with others.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.

With love and gratitude,

Clarise Canton
