The week before Thanksgiving, my mother went into the hospital suffering complications from diabetes. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 5th, after being given a terminal diagnosis and sent home onto hospice. Since then, we have been trying to help my Dad pick up the pieces.

Last week, my Dad went into the hospital with stomach and chest pains. It was found that he had a tumor obstructing his bowels and surgery would have to be performed.

I am creating this GoFundMe to help my Dad with his increasing medical expenses as well as help cover the expenses of my mother’s funeral. Any amount could make a difference, but I ask that you share this with others who may be able to help, even if you yourself do not donate.

Thank you for your time and I hope that 2026 finds you well.
