I don't care about being fancy I just need to survive & be able to keep a roof over my head & not loose this house when its almost paid off. The pastor from the hospital suggested I create this fundraiser and reach out to all the people who knew and loved my dad throughout his 86 years of life. My father was many things . He was a great father & husband & brother & served proudly in the United States Marines. He was always 1st in line to help anyone who might be in need or to just put a smile on someone's face.

My circle of people is small, but my dad has touched lives all across the US in many different ways. So now I'm hoping that some of those people might be able to help me in return for all my dads kindness. It’s just been my dad & me for a long time now since my mom & brother have already passed & now I have no immediate family left nearby, and due to medical reasons, I’m homebound. My only income is Social Security, which isn’t enough to cover all the bills and all the other living expenses without my dad’s help. I honestly have no clue all of the expenses I’ll end up needing to pay in my father’s name, but I do know that as hard as my dad tried, the life insurance he left won’t take care of everything—we just couldn’t afford more. This house has been in my life for many years, and I can manage to get around it on my own & don't want to loose it when its so close to being paid off & my income won't be enough to live anywhere else.

Being so honest out here is really hard for me, but I’m scared of losing everything. So I'm leaving this in God's hands , hoping that anyone who was blessed by knowing my dad might be able to help me now. Any support you can offer would mean the world to me and help me keep my home while I figure out how to move forward. Thank you for reading and for any kindness you can share.
