Eric's Last Wish: Peace for His Family

Donation protected
Help Support My Dad in His Final Journey

Hi, my name is Cassie Leadford, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. My dad, Eric Gilbert, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and we have no idea how much time he has left. 1 week? 1 year? etc. We are asking for your help to raise $50,000 to assist with the many expenses we are now facing — hospital bills, chemo treatments, funeral costs, and unexpected needs that may come up during this difficult time.

My dad is a loving, family-oriented man who has always put others before himself. He is a proud father, grandfather to six, and great-grandfather to eight beautiful great-grandchildren. No matter what was going on in his own life, he always made time for family, friends, and anyone in the community who needed a helping hand.

These funds will also help ensure his wife, Cathy Gilbert, is taken care of and has the support she needs after he’s gone. He deserves to spend his remaining time focusing on what matters most — his family — without the heavy burden of financial worries.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. Please help us honor the incredible man my dad is, and help give him the peace he deserves during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you so much for your kindness, prayers, and support.
