Funeral Costs for 4 Family Members

It is with a heavy heart that I write this.

This year has brought a lot of tragedy for our family. Earlier this year, we lost our uncle due to a brain aneurysm. He was the primary caregiver of his father. With our uncle's passing, his son relocated his family to care for his ill grandfather, who needs around-the-clock care.

Yesterday evening, seven family members were traveling back home in their SUV from Disney, where they celebrated their niece’s 5th birthday. Just a few short miles from reaching home, they were in a fatal car crash that took the life of his mother, daughter (13), sister (20), and niece (1). The other three family members traveling with them remain hospitalized with severe injuries.

There are no words to describe the loss our family is going through. No words to ease the pain they are feeling after losing four family members in the blink of an eye. We ask for continued prayers for our family. May they find strength in God and may their loved ones rest in peace.

We wanted to start this GoFundMe to reduce their financial burden as they grieve and prepare services for their loved ones. Donations of any amount are genuinely appreciated. All money raised will be directly transferred to the family to help with the four family members' funeral costs and medical costs for the two that remain hospitalized.

Below are a couple of links covering the devastating story and shedding light on this tragedy.

Thank you.
