Dan's family needs your help

Donativo protegido
Hi, I am reaching out for help. My husband, Daniel Bernier, recently passed away. He was an amazing man who loved his family and extended family. He helped raise two sons, teaching them everything from shaving, working on vehicles, cooking, and any other life skills they needed. He loved being a stepdad and being able to be there for them. He was also highly supportive of me as well. He was my best friend and my once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. He helped me through fears over my mom's health and my own health. We were together for nine years, and he always treated me like a queen. He cared for friends, always lifted people up, encouraged them to be true to themselves, and follow their dreams. He stood up for people from all walks of life that needed a friend. He always made time for people that needed him. He worked so hard all his life. His co-workers always called him "Big Guy" or "Dan the Man". He went above and beyond to teach others all the knowledge he learned throughout his life and career. He was even a teacher for a class to help others learn how to weld. He volunteered his time every week for 4 hours to teach a class for free. He loved taking care of others. He used to tell me that was how he showed caring by taking care of people. His friends always knew that they could tell Dan anything, and he would keep their privacy with what he was confided to about. He would intently listen and provide calm, thought-out advice. He did the same for me. My family and I are lost without him. I am trying to raise money to help pay for him to have an end-of-life celebration. Many people want to come share stories and make sure he has a great send-off. I also am trying to get help to stay in my home. We have a lease at our residence until September of this year. We rented here based on Dans and mine, incomes put together. I don't make nearly enough to cover everything on my own. My kids have stepped up and are working all the hours they can get. But we are worried about losing our house and car. Dan and I bought our first nice car together for the first time in Sept 2020. When he was here, we could afford our payments. I can't do them on my own now though. He loved our car and was so proud of it. We have so many memories in that car. When he was here, we could afford to travel. We went all over the United States in our car. Sometimes alone, and sometimes with friends. He would constantly take care of the car, making sure the oil and brakes get changed regularly. He would wash it and talk about how nice it is to finally have a car that we could go out of town in. The car is maroon, as it combined mine and his favorite colors of purple and red. We took a lot of time to find it. The car was our first, and only, really nice thing we ever bought together. It brings back so many happy memories of him and I and our adventures when I drive it now. I really don't want to lose it. Driving it still makes me feel close to him. If anyone can help contribute anything to his end-of-life celebration, or any help in general, it would be greatly appreciated. Anything helps. Thank you all so very much
