On the morning of September 15th, my family was met with devastating news. My step-father; the man who stepped up when my own father did not- passed away after battling lung cancer. He left behind his mother, 7 siblings, 2 children, 3 step children, 3 grandchildren, and 2 step grandchildren. He had a personality that everyone adored, with a heart of gold. He struggled greatly with his own demons, he took strides every day to do better, and had us all believe he would beat cancer and his demons. The cancer ravaged his lungs and his body. I am raising money for the costs to give him a proper send off, it is the least we can do for the happiness and togetherness we all shared.

Maximum is listed already, minimum we would need for arrangements is $5,000. With my own financial strains, along with everyone else's within the immediate family, we are struggling to come up with this money outright. Anything donated would be a huge help. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you who does donate. It would help give his family, and myself, the comfort we need in this heartbreaking moment.
