Give Jesse the Goodbye He Deserves

My name is Ava and I’m the 5th oldest of 11 children. I’m making this go fund me for my stepdad. He had a hemorrhagic stroke 9 months ago. He gained his angel wings 3/27/25 and we don’t have the funds for his cremation and viewing. He fought a long and hard 9 month battle and deserves to be put to rest the right way. He left behind 8 daughters and 3 sons. My mom is the only one holding down the fort. She deserves to have her best friend put to rest the proper way so we can learn to grieve properly. This was very unexpected, Jesse was an amazing man and I’ve learned a lot from him. My mom got her wallet stolen out of her car a couple days ago so it makes it harder to give him the proper goodbye. The wallet had everything she had in it. Jesse had the biggest heart and the warmest smile. He went above and beyond for us and i want to do the same. I want him to know people care. He was more than loved. He gave it everything he had so we got lucky to have 9 extra months with us. He had the best stories and the best laugh. I will forever miss him. We need closure and in order to have it we would really love to put him to rest the right way. Please pray for us during this difficult time. Anything is greatly appreciated <3
