Many of you know that we lost my dad on April 1 after a long battle with cancer. He was a loving, generous father and husband with a great sense of humor. My parents were married for 54 years and were truly each other’s best friend. His loss has left a gaping hole in our family and the past few weeks have been grueling. My mom spent the last three months taking care of my dad, and during this time, my sibling took a substantial amount of money from her without her knowledge. He then left the country just two days after my dad passed away, and as a result my mom is now struggling to cover basic expenses like food, medicine, and essential bills. She needs financial help and deserves time to grieve without having to bear this burden.

We are reaching out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution — no matter how small — will bring some relief, help my mom regain her footing, and let her focus on healing. Please know how grateful we are for your friendship and support, and thank you in advance for whatever you're able to do.
