Jennifer and I have spent our lives serving others—Jennifer as a bus driver for our public schools, and myself as a janitor for our faith community. We have always found joy in helping those around us, even though our work hasn’t brought us financial wealth. Our greatest reward has been the opportunity to give back and make a difference in the lives of others every day.

As we look ahead, we want to ensure that our children are not burdened with the costs of our final resting place. We hope to secure an interior crypt in a mausoleum, but we do not have the funds up front or enough insurance to cover the total cost. GoFundMe gives us hope that, with the support of our community, we can make this important arrangement and bring peace of mind to our family.

Your support—whether through a donation or a prayer—means the world to us. By helping us reach this goal, you are not only easing a future burden for our family, but also showing that acts of kindness and charity truly matter. Thank you for considering our request and for being part of our journey.
