Hello,
My name is Morgan and I am here to help my family. On December 3rd, the day after my parents' anniversary, my dad passed away in his sleep unexpectedly.
He was the pillar of my family. His constant love, bright laughter and boisterous laugh filled our now empty home with warmth.
He left behind a devastated and broken family. We have nothing financially. My mother, a California teacher, now has to rely on her sole income to put my brother through college and pay off my steep student loans (over $150,000 alone). Along with these already insurmountable bills, she now has to pay for funeral costs, burial, and the general cost of living.
One month ago, my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. One week after this, Kaiser determined that the test results were inconclusive and that he had nothing diagnosable wrong with him. They left him with no idea of what was happening and as the weeks continued, we watched him deteriorate. He could not walk, he could not sit, he could not eat, claiming he had a 'flu' the morning of his death. Watching this every day tore my mom and family apart.
During this time, I know that there is nothing I can do but ask for help. My dad raised me to never ask for anyone's support, but I am here to ask for your support. Not for myself, but for my mother. For the woman who has just lost her high school sweetheart and best friend of 32 years.
Every penny counts for us right now. Every penny, every dime, every dollar. Anything will help us. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your kindness.
