My dad lived all the way in the Philippines, and although my parents were divorced and we lived in different countries, we always stayed connected. He was a hardworking man with a deep passion for cars, and even from afar, he remained an important part of my life. I was the only one he would talk to, and our bond meant the world to me, despite the distance and the years apart.

I was planning to return to the Philippines for my birthday, and after ten long years, I was finally going to see my dad again. Sadly, before we could reunite, he passed away unexpectedly. Now, instead of a joyful reunion, I am coming home to say goodbye and arrange his funeral. The pain of losing him is made even harder by the challenges of organizing everything from another country.

I am reaching out for help to cover my dad's funeral expenses. Any amount will truly help during this difficult time. I wouldn't ask if I didn't need it, but I appreciate every single one of you who takes the time to support or share this fundraiser. Your kindness means more than words can say.
