Hi all, it has taken a lot of talk and putting aside pride to make this account. We are raising funds for daddy’s funeral expenses as well as to relieve the financial burden from Melissa. Unfortunately, dad did not have life insurance and his income is what has supported them for the past couple years. His VA benefits will reimburse for his cremation expenses but they have to be paid upfront. For the next couple months Melissa will be without any income until his VA retirement goes through. We hope to elevate any financial stress until that time so she can grieve properly. Any and ALL funds will be dispersed to her and her alone. If you feel more comfortable sending something directly she is happy to set up a cashapp. Thank you all so dearly!
