My name is Keez (Michael Patterson jr), and I’m reaching out during a time of sudden and overwhelming change. My father recently passed away, and with his loss, I’ve had to step into a role I wasn’t prepared for—taking over as the head of our household. Overnight, I’ve become responsible for managing all of the bills, financial obligations, housing, vehicles, and debts that my father used to handle. He was not only my best friend, but also the person who took care of everything for our family.

This transition has been incredibly difficult, both emotionally and financially. My father did not have life insurance, so there is little to no safety net to help cover all expenses related to his passing. I am doing my best to settle his debts and keep our home running, but the financial burden is heavy and I was not prepared for it. Usually, this is what life insurance is for, but in its absence, I have to step up immediately and ask for help from my community.

No matter how much you contribute, it truly helps. My father loved this community, and so do I. In this unexpected time of need, your support will help me and my family more than ever. Thank you for considering helping us as we navigate this difficult journey.
