Hello everyone. My sister and I are reaching out during a very difficult time. Our dad, John Lairson Jr., passed away on October 29th, and his funeral is on November 18th in Ohio. We both live in Florida, and we are trying to raise enough to cover the cost of travel so we can be there.

Our relationship with him wasn’t always easy, but he was still our father. We want the chance to say goodbye, support our family, and have the closure we need. This will be our only opportunity to be present when he is laid to rest.

Last-minute travel is very expensive, and we are struggling to afford the tickets on our own. Any amount helps — even $5 — and sharing this page is just as meaningful. We are truly just hoping to get home to stand with our family and say our final goodbyes.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this and for any support during this difficult time. It means more than we can express.
