Frank Joseph Monte was my partner for 25 years, and together we raised our disabled daughter. On January 18th, our lives changed forever when Frank tragically passed away in Staten Island. He was mauled to death by a pit bulldog while visiting a house—a loss that has left our family devastated. There are many articles about what happened, and the shock of his passing is still overwhelming. Frank's only living relative is his 96-year-old mother, who is in a nursing home in Staten Island with dementia. She is unable to help with the costs, and I am also unable to afford the expenses on my own. We are heartbroken and struggling to find a way to give Frank the dignity he deserves in his final farewell. The funds raised will be used to pay for Frank's cremation at Colonial Funeral Home in Staten Island. Without this support, Frank may be buried in potter's field as an unknown person, something no one should ever have to face. Your generosity will help us honor Frank's memory and ensure he is laid to rest with the respect he deserves. For anyone donating to this cause, God will bless you. No one should ever have to experience such a horrific death, and your support means more than words can express. Thank you for considering helping our family during this unimaginable time.
