Help for our Dad's burial & medical expenses

Donation protected
Our Dad lost his fight yesterday after a long, courageous, eight-year battle with stage four cancer. Not only have we lost our Dad, our Mom has lost the love of her life. He has also left behind his four grandchildren, all under thirteen. He adored them and spent time with them almost every day. He leaves one sister behind who loved him dearly, as well as nephews and a niece.

Our Dad was a man who gave every breath for us and would do anything for anyone. He was always there for anyone who needed him. He was a man of God, of principle. We want to be able to honor his wishes and bury him the way he wanted. The cost of the burial, and medical bills from his 8-year battle, (more than 3 surgeries, many rounds of chemo & countless other procedures) he handled with grace and dignity. Also, our mom has lost our Dad’s income. It is too much for our mother to bear. Due to his illness, they were unable to carry insurance. We cannot move forward with the arrangements with the funeral home until we have the funds for his burial. We are all heartbroken. If there is anyone who wishes to contribute to our expenses, so we may bury our dad and help our mom, we would sincerely appreciate it. Any amount would help and would mean the world to our family.
