My dad was my rock and my role model. He raised me as a single father, with the help of my grandmother, and taught me the values that shaped who I am today. Over the last six years, as he became a grandfather, we grew even closer. We talked almost every day, and that’s what I’ll miss most—his voice, his advice, and his unwavering support. He is the reason I strive to be a good person, and his influence will continue to guide me.

His sudden passing from a heart attack has left our family heartbroken and facing unexpected expenses. We want to honor his memory with a burial at sea funeral service, something that would have meant a lot to him and to us. The costs for this service are more than we can manage alone, and we’re reaching out for help during this difficult time.

Anything helps and I thank you all in advance for your kindness and support. Your generosity will help us give my dad the farewell he deserves, and it means more than words can express.
