Help devoted son Travis Bakke with burial costs
Donation protected
My cousin Travis Bakke has been his parents main caregiver for the past several years. They were living in his home in Albany, in the basement apartment. Travis and his wife Jenny had purchased this home so that they could take care of his aging parents. In November of 2019, Travis was dealt a stunning blow as his dad, Gary died unexpectedly. As he was still grieving and learning how to live without his father, four months later, his mom Ilana passed away. My Aunt Ilana was one of the most fun-loving, sweet, vibrant people I've ever known. She was so kind and giving, empathetic and loving. She adored her son and did her best to give him a good life. The unwavering bond between Travis and Ilana was evident to everyone. My cousin has been a wonderful son to both his folks. I know that this has been so incredibly difficult for him. As caregiver for them, he took care of every one of their needs.
Along with the emotional trauma, the financial strain on Travis and his family has been devastating. The finances required to bury a person is difficult for anyone, but when there are two in such a short time, it is even harder. Please help Travis honor his parents by assisting with these final expenses. Thank you.
