It is with a heavy heart that I write today. My family friend, Tina Williams, who is like a sister to me, has just received the heartbreaking news that her father, Willie Williams passed away on March 17th, 2026. Tina is now responsible for arranging her dad's funeral, but unfortunately, she does not have the funds to cover these unexpected expenses. To make things even more challenging, Tina is expecting a baby, due anytime now, and is facing this loss while preparing to welcome new life into her family.

Tina's father always wished to be buried next to his mother in Cleveland, OH. Honoring his wishes means Tina will need to travel and cover the costs of the funeral and burial. The expenses are overwhelming, and Tina is doing her best to fulfill her father's final request while also caring for herself and her soon-to-arrive baby.

We are reaching out to our community for help and support during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward funeral expenses and travel costs to help Tina honor her father's wishes. Your kindness and generosity will make a world of difference for Tina and her family as they navigate this loss and try to find some peace. Thank you for considering a donation and for keeping Tina in your thoughts.
