Help Us Honor Our Father With A Proper Farewell

With heavy hearts, we are reaching out to ask for your help during this incredibly challenging time. Our father, a kind, loving soul, has passed away. He was a man who lived for his children and gave selflessly to anyone in need. His heart was full of compassion, and he always put others before himself, even when he had little to give.

Unfortunately, we have been met with an unexpected and heartbreaking obstacle. Someone who is not related to him and had no true relationship with him took out an insurance policy in his name. They took advantage of him when he was vulnerable and unaware of the policy's details. Now, they are refusing to release even a small portion of the funds to help us cover the costs of his burial.

This situation has devastated our family, as we want nothing more than to honor our father with the dignity and respect he deserves. He would have given his last to help someone in need, and it pains us deeply that he was taken advantage of in such a way.

We are humbly asking for your support to give him a proper burial. No amount is too small, and every donation will help us lay him to rest in peace, as he so greatly deserves.

Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us in this time of grief and uncertainty. Thank you for helping us honor the memory of a man who gave so much and asked for so little in return.

With deepest gratitude,
The Johnson/Cliff Family
