My dad, Eddie, just lost his mom, my Nana. Nana was the strongest person I know and her loss is a huge blow to her family. She is survived by her three sons, Eddie (my dad), Antonio III, Ralph; and three of her daughters, Mercy, Terry, and Grace.

She obviously meant the world to Dad, but he doesn’t have the funds to make it to her funeral in California as he lives in Alabama. I want him to be able to grieve the loss of his mother at her funeral, but I can’t do it alone. Anything you can contribute to help him be at his mother’s funeral would absolutely change his life for the better.
