My name is Skylar. With a broken heart, I’m sharing that today, my brother, Dillian, died by suicide. This loss is unexpected and devastating.

As his sister, the responsibility to handle everything has fallen on myself and my grieving father. I’ve already spent the last of my emergency savings on cleanup services so our family wouldn’t have to face that burden — but now I have nothing left to put toward a funeral and other costs.

I want to give Dillian a loving and respectful farewell where family and friends can gather, grieve, and remember him. But the costs of the funeral home, cremation or burial, and memorial service are more than I can manage alone, which is why I am asking for your help:

We are raising funds to cover:

• Funeral home services and cremation/burial

• Memorial service and gathering for family/friends

• Flowers, obituary, and printed materials

• Unexpected expenses that always come up in times like this

If you’re able to help, any amount will go directly to these expenses. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser.

Thank you for supporting me and my family through this devastating time.

With love,

Skylar
