Hi, we're the Catapano family raising money for Darlene Catapano. Darlene was diagnosed with cancer back in May 2022. Since then, she has been moved to a hospice. Her father, Ernest Catapano, lived with Darlene and recently lost their house. Ernest now lives upstairs in the house and only collects monthly a minimum social security check. They also have a dog, Matilda, who is ill as well. Darlene also has no life insurance, which means no money for her funeral service and burial. We're raising money for Darlene's funeral, Matilda's medical bills, and financial help for Ernest. Another goal is to raise enough money so Darlene can be buried next to her mother, Denise. Unfortunately, we as a family cannot afford these expenses independently as we are a one-income household. The situation has been rough on us, and we love Darlene and want her to get the funeral service and burial she deserves. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Please share this page with as many people as possible. The funds will go directly to the funeral, burial, Matilda's bills, and aid for Ernest.

UPDATE* Thanks to you all, we’ve raised enough to bury and have a service for Darlene! This GoFundMe will remain open for help for Ernest and Matilda. ❤️

UPDATE* Will remain open with new goal for new headstone for Darlene and everyone else buried on the site. ❤️
