Hello everyone! This is Keely and Parker. We are raising funds for my father, who was recently diagnosed with early-onset dementia.

My father is a musician who has spent much of his life giving back to others. Over the years, he has performed at and supported many benefits for different causes, and he has been a very important part of our community. He has always been someone who gives his time, talent, and heart to help others.

Now, our family is facing a very difficult journey. With his diagnosis, the costs of ongoing medical care and long-term care are becoming overwhelming. Because dementia is not currently curable, our family is preparing for the long-term care and support he will need.

We are raising funds to help support my father and our family with the costs of his medical care and long-term care. This fundraiser is incredibly important to us because it will help ease some of the financial burden during an already heartbreaking and difficult time, allowing us to focus on caring for him and ensuring he has the comfort, dignity, and support he deserves.

If you have ever been touched by my father’s kindness, music, generosity, or presence in the community, or if you are simply able to help, any contribution—no matter how small—would mean so much to our family. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also make a tremendous difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting my father and our family during this incredibly difficult chapter of our lives.
