Family in urgent need-medical

So many of us do not understand or realize the pain someone is in until it is too late.  

Those loved ones and so many of us that are left behind do not realize the aftermath left in their passing.

Our beloved Todd Griffin, husband and father, son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend, suffered from  severe depression and he took his last breath on Friday afternoon, September 12, 2014.

He leaves behind a loyal and devoted wife Tina, his mother Belinda, sister Brandy, daughter and stepdaughter Crystal and Shayla, as well as many cousins, aunts and uncles, friends and relatives.

He also leaves behind a wonderfully supportive and loving community in Ellensburg. The people of Ellensburg have been so generous with their time, generosity and concern, prayers and resources. We are humbled and grateful by the outpouring of support. From his family from here all the way to Alabama, Georgia and Florida, we thank you for your kindness.

Now Tina has suddenly been thrust into the reality of what a sudden and unexpected death leaves behind - no life insurance, no preparations for her to rely on during her time of grief and even more so, any and all debts and costs related to Todd's passing.

Please consider giving what you can. We have had an offer for miles donated from a personal account and some folks who earn just enough to live are ready to help. We are asking all of you to forward this to any and everyone that you think might have something to help out, whether it is cash, services, assistance, relief or prayer - all is welcomed and appreciated. Everything truly helps.

As a family, we want to thank Tina, her mother, sister, brother and brother-in-law for their strength and loyalty. Tina and her mother stood by Todd's side while being the strength for the families involved, the children left behind and the mother and sister who also share Tina's broken heart. We are so grateful for everything.
