Bring Our Veteran & Father Home

Donation protected
Recently my father who is a veteran traveled to Tanzania Africa. While he was there he contracted malaria and he passed away in Africa on the 21st of February 2020. Currently he is being held in that country and we are working to get his body returned to the states for burial. The price tag is a hefty one at around $12,000. There is no life insurance, the Army cannot do anything, the VA has not returned our calls, and we are at a loss. My brother and I do not have the money to pay for this, our grandfather is 83 years old and he does not have the financial means to pay for this either. My brother and I both work but our checks pay the bills and there is no extra. I am currently active duty and my brother works for the billing department at a hospital in southern Missouri and has a baby on the way. We need your help. The embassy just called us this morning and they want to have the body sent back this Friday but we got them to keep it until Tuesday.. All we want is our dad home so he can be buried by his mother. Please help us. 100% of the proceeds will be used for transportation of the body back to the US and for the burial. Any unused proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Program. All we want is him to be home.
