Craig's Family Needs Your Support Now

UPDATE: Please Help My Mom After the Loss of My Dad

Hi, my name is Lily Sellers, and I’m reaching out with a broken heart.

On Tuesday, March 11, my dad, Craig Sellers, passed away. He was the best dad in the world—kind, strong, and always there for me. He fought so many battles in his life, including beating cancer, but in the end, his body just couldn’t fight anymore. Even though I knew he was sick, I still wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I don’t think I ever would have been.

My dad loved our family more than anything. He always told me how much he loved me, how proud he was of me, and how I was his greatest joy. He was also an amazing father to my older siblings, Garrick and Sarah, who he helped raise from when they were little, and my brother Sean. He loved us all so much, and now that he’s gone, everything feels different.

But the person I’m most worried about is my mom. She’s been by my dad’s side through everything, taking care of him and making sure he got the best care possible. She’s always been so strong, but now I can see how much she’s struggling. My dad’s medical treatments cost a lot, and with everything happening so fast, we didn’t have time to prepare for what comes next. My mom is facing all the funeral expenses, medical bills, and just trying to take care of me while grieving the love of her life.

That’s why I’m asking for help.

I just want to take some of the stress off my mom’s shoulders. She’s already dealing with so much pain, and I don’t want her to have to worry about how we’re going to afford everything. The money raised will go toward:

• My dad’s funeral and burial so we can honor him the way he deserves

• A gathering for family and friends to celebrate his life and share memories

• Helping my mom with living expenses while she finds a way to adjust to life without my dad

• Paying off some of the medical bills from my dad’s treatments

If you can donate, even a little, it would mean the world to me and my mom. And if you can’t, just sharing this would help so much. My dad was an amazing person, and I want to make sure my mom doesn’t have to carry all of this alone.

Thank you for reading this and for any help you can give. It means everything to us right now.

With love,

Lily

Please Help April Sellers with Final Expenses & Rebuilding After Loss

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with broken hearts that we share the story of Craig Sellers, a man who has fought more battles than most will ever know. Craig is not just a cancer survivor—he’s a warrior who defied the odds and cherished every moment he had with his family. After being treated at the City of Hope Village, Craig was one of the lucky few to leave cancer-free, and for many years, he lived with the joy of being healthy and surrounded by his loved ones. But the shadow of cancer never truly left. Due to the very treatments that saved his life, the chances of it returning were always there. Now, after an arduous journey and multiple battles with his health, Craig is in hospice care, nearing the end of his fight.

For April, his beloved wife, this is a time of unimaginable grief. Craig was not just her partner; he was her best friend, the father of her children, and the man who held their family together. Together, they raised their children—Sean and Lily—with love and devotion. Craig’s bond with his children was everything to him. He loved each of them fiercely, including his children from his first marriage with his beloved wife Cynthia—Garrick and Sarah, whom Craig raised from childhood as his own, and their natural child, Sean.

After his marriage to April, Craig had another beautiful daughter, Lily, completing their family. The love Craig had for all of his children was boundless. He was there for them every step of the way, guiding them through life with care and affection. Craig embraced fatherhood at every stage of his life, pouring his heart into being the best dad he could be.

But over the years, Craig’s health has been a constant struggle. The medical bills from his ongoing treatments have accumulated, placing a heavy financial burden on the family. The fight to keep him alive came at a cost far beyond what anyone could have expected, both emotionally and financially. April, the pillar of their family, has done everything she can to support Craig’s care, often putting her own needs aside to ensure his treatment was a priority. Yet despite her tireless efforts, the medical expenses have continued to mount, and now, as they face the painful reality of losing him, the financial strain is more overwhelming than ever.

April is now left with the monumental task of managing the costs of Craig’s final arrangements, the lingering medical debt, and the ongoing expenses of raising their children in a time of such sorrow. She has always been the one to give, the one to support others, but now she finds herself needing the support she’s always so freely offered. The weight of this loss is unimaginable, and the financial burden is crushing. Without Craig’s income, April is struggling to make ends meet, unable to work while caring for her grieving family. She needs help—both emotionally and financially—to cover the following:

• Burial costs to honor Craig’s wishes and provide him with the peaceful resting place he deserves

• Reception expenses to bring family and friends together, to celebrate the life of a man who touched so many hearts

• Ongoing living expenses, as April works to regain stability for herself and the children

• Assistance with the growing medical debt from Craig’s ongoing battle with cancer

• Support for April as she navigates rebuilding her life after losing the love of her life and the father of her children

This family has already endured more than most could imagine. They’ve been through years of medical trials, uncertainty, and pain. The emotional and financial toll of Craig’s illness has left scars that will last long after his passing, but the legacy of his love for his family will remain forever.

Now, more than ever, April and her children need your help. Your generous donations will provide the financial relief necessary for April to grieve without the added weight of financial devastation. Every dollar raised will go toward alleviating the expenses that have been crushing this family during their time of crisis—allowing them to focus on healing, remembering Craig, and finding a path forward.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who might be able to offer support. Your kindness will make an immeasurable difference as April, her children, and all who loved Craig try to navigate a life without him.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, support, and generosity. Your contribution will not only ease the financial burden but also bring comfort to a family in the midst of heartbreak.

April thanks you in advance for any support during this terribly difficult time.
