Expenses for travel and cremation services

Hello all, my name is Paige, and I am trying to raise money for travel and cremation services for my brother Eric Daugherty.

For anyone who may not know, his life was taken from him in the early morning on November 28th in Dunnellon, Florida. Eric lived his life the way he wanted, trying to find a place to bring him the happiness he desired. This eventually led him to be with people he was familiar with but did not know and would end up taking a turn, leaving me with debt that I was not prepared for, nor had the money for, in the first place.

Eric had a big heart and loved many, just as many had loved him back in return. He could be a pain in the butt and an exciting person to be around. When he was in a good place, he held on to it for as long as he could before his demons took over, leading him a stray. He is now safe, happy and where he belongs with our Mom, Grandma and his Dad.

I need to raise funds because, without the debt that came with bringing Eric home, I would not have had closure in my heart for my brother's passing.

A celebration of life will be held on December 17, at JJ's Tavern at 1720 Shirland Ave South Beloit, IL, from 10 am-1 pm.
