On August 28, 2025, at the age of 95, Billy James Wathel passed away, leaving behind his devoted wife, Dorinda Wathel, his loving daughter, Samantha Wathel, and his first grandson, Pierce. His loss has left their family heartbroken—and without the financial security they need.

Billy proudly served as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. A true patriot, he loved his country and his family deeply. Because of his age, he no longer qualified for life insurance, and the moment he passed, his monthly income stopped.

Now Dorinda is facing both grief and bills. She urgently needs $10,000 to provide Billy a dignified burial and to cover essential living expenses in the coming weeks.

Your gift—of any amount—will go directly toward:

Giving Billy the respectful farewell he deserves as a proud Veteran

Helping Dorinda keep the lights on and food on the table while she navigates this painful season

Supporting Samantha and little Pierce as they honor their father and grandfather’s memory

Please donate today and share this fundraiser so it reaches more hearts. Even $10 or $20 makes a real difference.

Together, we can ease Dorinda’s burden and remind this family they are not alone.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and prayers.
