From Son to Father: One Last Gift

My name is Gary "BaltheoMan" Smilie Garcia, and I'm reaching out to ask for help during one of the hardest times of my life.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm someone who puts their whole heart into everything I do - whether I'm creating something with my hand, live streaming retro games on Twitch, or planting new life in the garden with my bare feet in the dirt. I find joy in crafting, cooking, drawing, building, and growing. It's how I connect to the world, and how I've always shown love.

Now, I'm asking for support to honor someone who helped shape the man I've become - my father. His honorable name was Gilbert Smilie Flores Garcia, married to Margaret Escobar Rodriguez Garcia. He recently passed, and I'm trying to raise funds to give him the respectful, loving farewell he deserves. His life was filled with quiet strength, deep unconditional care, and lessons that taught me how to build, nurture, and create - not just with my hands, but with intention and heart.

If you're able to donate, share, or even just send a kind word, I'd be forever grateful. Every bit of help brings my family one step closer to peace and closure.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
